  <title>Set the Wacom tablet’s tracking mode</title>

<gui>Tracking Mode</gui> determines how the pointer is mapped to the screen.

<steps>

  <item>

    
Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and

    start typing <gui>Wacom Tablet</gui>.

  </item>

  <item>

    
Click on <gui>Wacom Tablet</gui> to open the panel.

    <note style="tip">

    <gui>Please plug in or turn on your Wacom tablet</gui>. Click the

    <gui>Bluetooth Settings</gui> link to connect a wireless tablet.
</note>

  </item>

  <item>
Next to <gui>Tracking Mode</gui>, select <gui>Tablet (absolute)</gui>

   or <gui>Touchpad (relative)</gui>.
</item>

</steps>

<note style="info">
In absolute mode, each point on the tablet maps

 to a point on the screen. The top left corner of the screen, for instance,

 always corresponds to the same point on the tablet.

 
In relative mode, if you lift the pointer off the tablet and put it

 down in a different position, the cursor on the screen doesn’t move. This is

    the way a mouse operates.
