Hi, Is anyone using tablets with Squeak?
I am, and Alan K. mentioned it's used at SqC, too.
I'm considering WACOM tablets (as a complete substitute for the mouse)
I'm using a Wacom Intuos GD and it's *great*.
and would like to know what kind of (windows) support Squeak currently has, and if there are any mayor issues that should be considered.
AFAIK there is no tablet support for Windows yet. The implementation should not be too hard, though.
Bert had mentioned 100% CPU loads in a post several moths ago when he was adding Unix support.
Really? Can't remember. It works fine now. I implemented a TabletHandMorph which is controlled by the tablet prims, and fixed the software cursors so you can actually have multiple of them. And then there is a subclass of TabletHandMorph called TabletPenMorph that displays a virtual pen with shadow instead of the cursor, including the correct tilting - immensely cool :)
Also, the windows 2.8 VM has a Joystick/Tablet plug-in - is this based on the WinTab API?
It's just a stub implementation - no tablet support at all.
