JPen - Java Pen Tablet Access Library

Wacom recently introduced the bamoo multitouch series:

I tried using JPen with the "bamboo fun" and touch is currently detected as a cursor. I was wondering if there were any plans to support the touch input as a separate input? ( i.e. Cursor, Stylus, Touch)

Thanks!

I couldn't find any documentation on how to distinguish the touch input (maybe because it is so new?) using wintab. Maybe you can help me testing on your bamboo tablet... Are you using Windows? Cheers! Nicolas

Yep, I tested it on windows XP 32 bit.

I suspected that maybe the touch stuff was so new that the "touch" input was not yet available at the wintab level.

I am not familiar with how the bamboo driver provides the touch events, but its possible that it may not have a distinction between touch and cursor.

Let's see if jpen is getting the touch-input data through wintab. Please run the jpen demo (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jpen/index.php?title=Demo) and write something with your stylus on the "Pen Enabled Component", then write something with a finger (is it possible?). Finally press the "Status Report..." button and copy/paste all the "JPen - Status Report" info here. The status report will list the devices used by the wintab provider... Cheers!
