[zvtm-devel] ZVTM-MPD add-on module v0.2.0 released

[Eric M. <Mou...@lr...>]

Most graphical user interfaces are based on the idea that the user 
interacts with the computer through a keyboard and a single pointing 
device (mouse, trackball, touchpad, etc). There are however cases where 
the use of two (or more) pointing devices can be appropriate, as 
demonstrated by evaluations and systems that feature bi-manual 
interaction. The use of a second pointing device, such as a trackball
in 
the non-dominant hand, can for instance be useful to control camera 
altitude (zoom level) in a ZUI, or the position of a floating palette 
grouping click-through tools. The MPD add-on for ZVTM enables 
programmers to support multiple pointing devices in their ZVTM-based 
applications. This specific module is distributed as an add-on because 
its use implies many constraining requirements, both at compile time
and 
run time.
