Wacom tablets

[Mark Schonewille]

Thanks, Dar. I understand that Wacom tablets may not be an obvious choice to work with LiveCode. I'll reconsider it. Maybe RealStudio is a better option or I'll have to get a different tablet.

The SDK seems for developing add-ons (minis) for the tablet only and not for facilitating input. I don't know if those minis allow me to do more than regular mouse clicks and drags. Besides a semi-official statement in a forum saying that developing your own gestures is impossible, I can't find any info about a C++ SDK, which would be very helpful.

At some level, the data is available, but you might need to tinker with interpretation.  I'm not sure what I did with the drawing interface, if anything.  I think I was interested in statistics at the time.  And getting the mouse resolution in general.
