The active area of the graphic tablet is a transparent surface area (18), which is coincident to the display screen and is approximately the same size as the display screen. The graphic tablet device may include active or passive stylus (14). A keyboard unit (12) and telephone unit (28) may be added to the workstation. An external communications system may be added to transmit and receive data to or from remote computers or other workstations. The display screen angle can be adjusted to inclination angles between horizontal and vertical orientations. The computer unit (24) controls the operation of the workstation and external communications.
