Method for processing of position data obtained from said surface. According to the method, the position code is read for a coded position which lies within the value area; the value in the set of values which is associated with the read-off coded position is determined; and the generation of a control signal is initiated, the level of which control signal is related to the determined value. Computer program for processing of position data in accordance with the method, and a product which comprises a surface of the above-mentioned type. Elected for publication: FIG.
