Re: [Therion] Graphic tablet with XTherion
And I may say the input from tablet is only and only of question of driver of tablet, not the xtherion. Xtherion is software which receives events from a system, not from a tablet directly.

Re: [Therion] Graphic tablet with XTherion
I've had one for over 20 years. The shape is now wrong but that doesn't seem to make much difference. Well worth it and still using the same one, the left click on the pen sometime/often double clicks rather than single nowadays. At the time the wacom were about 3 times the price but were far superior to the others I tried. Goodness knows if this is still true. Bigger seems to be better, I guess up to a point. I have a small one for travelling and it's harder to do good curves. Pressure sensitive makes photo editing far easier,.

Re: [Therion] Graphic tablet with XTherion
Hi Bruce, I guess any tablet would do, I started with a verry old and really cheap one (A5-sheet sized). The size of the tablet usually represents the screen size, so if u have a tiny one u might find it rather hard to draw with it. If u use Inkscape the pen resolution is not the vital factor as u don't capture the stylus-pressure at all. After I established that this is the way I want to draw and some larger projekts ahead of me, I got me a fancier one with a display and some shortcut keys and never regretted the purchas... As far as I know Xtherion does not support stylus input (one of the reasons I stared to use Inkscape). U klick and hold for the Bezier curves which is handy if u use a mouse, but useless for a stylus. Potentially I have missed some settings in XTherion as I haven't used it for drawing in a long time... cheers, Axel Gesendet: Sonntag, 08.
