Re: [OSM-talk] Experiences with graphical tablets and JOSM?

[Serge Wroclawski]

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.

 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 ;-)

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.
