Technically it is possible but my concern is whether such application already exists? I am not going to use this for designing (like working with GIMP etc). I want to take notes while reading books so even capacitive touch will be enough (no need for stylus or very pixel perfect drawing). Install an app in Android mobile or tablet that will capture touch events and send the co-ordinates to Linux system using USB or some other interface. The co-ordinates are then captured by Linux and used to draw or write. There are 2 ways to implement this in Linux side - a input driver can be written or a app specific to this can be written. If implemented as a input device then it will work with many applications this will be a big advantage (but writing a input driver may need good knowledge). The second option will be easy to implement but restricts the user to only one application. I would like to use this with jarnal application. Jarnal is open source so it can be modified to read the co-ordinates data obtained from the Android device. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
