The whole idea of the device is to record what you draw so that you can
import it into image editing programs later, either as a bitmap or (more
excitingly) as a vector image. It keeps a track of every stroke, in the
order you made them, and records how hard you were pressing on the pen,
so the recorded lines vary in thickness with pressure.
