The tools further have a window through which the touchscreen can display an on-screen control. The user can touch the screen either outside the tool's perimeter or through the window in the tool, or both, to interact with on-screen controls that are generated in response to the electronic device detecting and recognizing the pattern of touches generated by the tool.
