functions in wacom

[Dani Perez]

Hi,

I need to get some features of the wacom like coordinates X and Y, pressure of
pencil, etc in each instant of time.
Does Gimp save this information in any file?
Are there functions to obtain it?

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the wacdump program (linux - usually in a package
called 'wacom-tools') or the utilities on the driver CD (windows)?

not sure, highly unlikely

Yes.

Sorry for not being more helpful, don't have much time at the moment,
but have a few tips on where you can get more help. You may find the
wacom list helpful for questions like this:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxwacom-discuss
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxwacom-devel
Another place to is the following where there are a couple of wacom
related forums:

Yes, I have already looked wacdump and others but when I am drawing in Gimp,
these don't work because Gimp get the X events for its own application (this
doesn't happen with other apps like tgif).
What I need is to obtain coordinates, pressure, etc of wacom while I am
drawing in Gimp. I have been looking for function in gtk and in a plugin I
could obtain this information but for obtaining it in Gimp maybe I should
modify the Gimp code. Is there any easy way to do it or to get wacdump and
Gimp working together ?

Thanks

Dani

This information is passed to the active tool in the GimpCoords struct.
If you need to do anything with this information, then you probably need
to write a tool.
