  This is really a invalid response.  The question was not whether the
person doing the drawing had a brain or did not have a brain.  No one
was talking about brains.  The question was how best to, working
freehand, brainless or not, place a series of very closely spaced dots
fairly accurately, using a tablet.  Drawings do not have to present
mathematically precise elements except in certain instances.  Most
hand rendered drawings do not.

  Do you have something against using computers to produce hand
rendered drawings?  Do you think all drawing done on computers should
only use strictly mathematical input to create strokes and shapes?
How about a nice command line only drawing application?
