Linux:
- 5 ways of accessing devices
- evdev, wacom, proprietary
- touch enabled wacom: 3 devices in xinput
- Qt: no distinction between stylus and finger/touch
- -> extend proximity events to have distinction between
Windows:
- 2 protocols
- wintab (deprecated)
- e-ink (now, originally hand writing)
- drivers potentially override each other
- lacking transformation of value ranges and rotation direction
- wintab at least has time information in the low level event
Mac:
- unknown
QTabletEvent:
- does not contain button information
- does not contain keyboard modifier
- windows: wintab -> map button
TabletMove should also be sent with Hover – maybe as TabletProximityMove
Tablets and events should have a manual test app
Stylus hover: cannot read rotation, z-coordinate, use for paning/zooming
Potentially used and worked around by many applications (also commercial).
