Re: [OSM-talk] Experiences with graphical tablets and JOSM?
I think that FastDraw could be where a tablet would excel. That is drawing without lifting the mouse button. A mouse is sometimes not precise enough and you have to correct afterwards. Though, I am accustomed to frequent and rapid zooming and panning - this is where I am concerned the most. I tried out how keyboard keys work, and could not find any option to make the increment bigger. Maybe just I can't find it.

Re: [OSM-talk] Experiences with graphical tablets and JOSM?
I used one briefly. I didn't have the kind where there's an LCD projection- I had a cheap one. It was "okay" but my experience is that I don't do much "drawing" in Josm, rather I'm using tools to create objects like boxes and circles, them modifying them- so the pen was more work than using a mouse. It reminded me why light-pens went out of favor in comparison to mice. I have a friend whose an artist, and uses a real pen for her work. It just turns out that the work we do in Josm doesn't really have the same workflow features. This may be a function of mapping, or a function of Josm. - Serge On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 1:59 AM, Michał Brzozowski wrote: > Hello there. > So from yesterday, in Polish Biedronka shops (similar to Lidl, Aldi) > there is a Wacom One S graphical tablet available for a really low > price.

[OSM-talk] Experiences with graphical tablets and JOSM?
Hello there. So from yesterday, in Polish Biedronka shops (similar to Lidl, Aldi) there is a Wacom One S graphical tablet available for a really low price. [1] I'd like to ask about your experience with using graphical tablets with OSM editors, preferably JOSM. My area of interest is tracing roads, buildings (with building_tools), and finally, features like lakes and forests (which could be the best use, since they tend to have complex shapes - to be used with FastDraw plugin). I hope that when I get responses, there will be still one available in one of the many shops in my area ;-) [1] http://www.biedronka.pl/pl/product,id,3727,name,tablet-graficzny-one-by-wacom-s Cheers Michał ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
