Tablet Wacom

attachment:wacom.jpeg We use the Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch tablet device for the following examples.

Linux

To install the wacom tablet under linux, simply plug it in and run the shell script you find under ...

The shell script can be used to personalize the buttons and other options.

   1 # Defining the Buttons 1-4 on the pad. With this config the first button presses 1 on your keyboard.
   2 # Note that the first Button is "3" not "1", etc. 
   3 xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT M Finger pad" Button 3 "key 1"
   4 xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT M Finger pad" Button 1 "key 2"
   5 xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT M Finger pad" Button 9 "key 3"
   6 xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT M Finger pad" Button 8 "key 4"

As you can see from the config, the Button config isn't 1 2 3 4 but 3 1 9 8. This has to do with how the kernel maps the input buttons, that can't be changed. At the end you write in the actual input you want, the standard config is for use with MyPaint, with it you can easily switch between 4 colors. You could also map different functions on it, with "key ctrl+ z ctrl-" for instance, the button will push and hold down the control button on your keyboard and press Z before it releases ctrl again. If you would input "key ctrl z" the programm does the keystrokes after each other.
