This does not interfere with drawing, but it may be irritating. ## Explanation The pen hover feature involves detecting the position of the pen even though it is not touching the tablet. This creates an interesting challenge. The farther the pen is from the tablet, the less reliably its position can be determined. At greater distances, nearby electromagnetic noise starts to "drown out" the signal from the pen. The result is that the reported pen position can "jump around" a bit during hover. ## Hover height vs hover jitter Especially at the upper end of the hover range, pens can often be detected even farther away than the hover distance listed in the manufacturer specs. In those locations, you may encounter the strongest jitter. ## Prevalence Specific digitizer families may be prone to hover jitter. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sevenpens.com/drawtab/core/hover/hover-jitter.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
