Aah!! Sorry I thought you understood how it works.
gemtablet was originally created for an installation that an artist had and they didn't want the user to be able to interact with the computer as though the tablet is a mouse. Because of this, I lock the tablet to just work in the gem window itself.
That is a good idea to expand the functionality to have an option to just behave like a normal mouse.
Later, Mark

Hi Mark and list,
I just solved my problem: it is not possible to move the arrow on the screen after I've started pd/gem but 'gemtablet' receives all data correctly... the frozen arrow just irritated me! - Maybe it's possible to change that in a future release (if it's not a problem with my tablet only)?
Thanks
Olaf

hi
trying to build gem-0.84-6 on linux. configure stops with: checking for main in -lttf... no checking alternate -lttf in ../../..... configure: error: library ttf not available - run ./makeauxlibs script
it's not in auxlibs. what is it? couldn't find any ttf library...

hi ludwig,
i think the libttf is included in the freetype2 or the freetype2-dev package
cheers

yes, freetype-devel was missing, thanks. and i had to upgrade gcc and cpp (2.96-81), and glibc, glibc-devel (2.2.2-10), and probably some other i stuff i don't remember. (long night...) now, gem is running ok. me too, i get those const context - Do not continue! errors somebody mentioned here earlier. haven't tried anything nasty yet, but 2 wildly rotating and moving spheres with 25 or so segments each and two lights, also moving, brought cpu usage up to around 12%. not so bad, i guess (pII 350mHz, mg400). one thing that i couldn't work out: the compiler kept complaining about 'strcmp' and 'strcpy' being undeclared. i managed to work around strcmp in a couple of Geos files by replacing it with a simple comparison. but i don't know what to do about strcpy. actually, there's only one occurrance [GemPixImageLoad.cpp, line 59]: strcpy(newName, filename); i commented that out, so it would compile. only, i cannot load images now...

You should be able to solve this with the correct include files. With libc6.1 this is #include <string.h> it might be different on your system, check with "man strcpy",
.. and let me know which included file you used, .. (strcpy and strcmp are declared in the same file)

yep, that was it. thanks. added the include statement in those files and all compiled. (/usr/include/string.h from glibc-devel-2.2.2-10 rh7.1)

Hi,
Sorry for the dumbness of this question. Has anyone produced a simple GEM object for plotting a pixel (rather than rendering an object or particles)?
I'm after NT compiled externs just now. Any help appreciated.

hi
unfortunately i do not quite understand what you need
- there is an object called pix_draw that draws pictures (pixel-buffers)
to the screen 2. you can render pictures to geos
but maybe your problem is not how to make pictures (pixel-buffers) visible, but to have control over the pixel buffer ? if this is true you might want to try the pix_set object that is part of gemplus at http://umlaeute.mur.at/gem there is windoze-precompiled version. (and i hope that there is a helppatch somewhere. if not and you need one, let me know)
