Abstract
An input apparatus includes a detection portion, a processor, and a memory. The detection portion is configured to detect a position. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions. The computer-readable instructions cause the processor to perform processes that include acquiring a plurality of first positions, determining whether a combination and a sequence of the plurality of first positions satisfy a specified first condition, acquiring a plurality of second positions after it has been determined that the combination and the sequence satisfy the first condition, determining whether a combination and a sequence of the plurality of second positions satisfy any of a plurality of second conditions, and identifying, in a case where it has been determined that the combination and the sequence of the plurality of second positions satisfy one of the plurality of second conditions, format information associated with the one of the plurality of second conditions.
