Wacom/Tablet support for Wings3D?

Hello!

I'd love to be able to use Wings3D with a tablet... At the moment it just spins around and feels generally quite floaty and imprecise.

Here is a video showcasing what is happening.

It seems to treat the input from the tablet as a continuous value, hence it keeps accelerating from where you first started dragging across the tablet. The rotation and mouse input gets stronger the further you get from the first point you started dragging the pen across the tablet.

I've tried to use both pen mode and mouse mode in the Wacom tablet properties, the same phenomenon happens.

Best regards
//Morgan

I your video it seems like the move command is working ok without excessive acceleration. Is that right? Is it only when moving the camera around?

The move command is also having the same excessive acceleration as the camera, every mouse move input in the viewport has.

We have never supported (Wacom) tablets, to do it good we need get the move events directly,
and I don't have a tablet so can't develop test/that.

I got one last month (not a Wacom) and I still didn't try to use it with Wings3D.
I going to check and hopefully I can reproduce this behaviour here. Smile

Awesome! Hope it can be reproduced and that enabling support for it won’t be a too difficult task!

I’ll eagerly await news meanwhile Smile

I just set it to work with Wings3D and its spinning too crazy. Biggrin

I don't have time to look for a workaround for this soon, but at least I have a way to reproduce it.

You will have write c-code to access drivers directly to make it work good.
wxWidgets don't have any special support for tablet events.

Please try 2.2.5 with Pref/Misc "Camera moves not working" workaround ticked.

Hopefully that works better

I checked on my Huion tablet and the option "Camera moves and interactive commands not working" did the trick. It works gracefully. Smile

Morgan is going to check its tablet soon.

I just noticed the context menu is shown in my main screen instead of on the tablet one (second one). I had already worked on that in the past if I'm not wrong (we had also talked about the possibility to add some extra wxwidgets function support to erlang in order to better manage that). I need to check.
