Python Wacom Interface

Question

I am trying to write a python script on Windows 7 to interact with my Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet. Wacom recommends using the WinTab API, and it works fine, but not for my appli

Answer 1

I think, in wintab you can get the raw coordinates. At least in Python wrapper for wintab you can access them:

cgkit.wintab.Packet.x

In absolute mode, contains the scaled cursor location along the x axis. In relative mode, contains the scaled change in cursor position.

cgkit.wintab.Packet.y

In absolute mode, contains the scaled cursor location along the y axis. In relative mode, contains the scaled change in cursor position.

I'm investigating for myself if there is an cross-platform api for tablets, but if you need windows-only solution that should work.
