Hi all, has anyone worked out a general scheme to use a graphics tablet for triggering events in the sense that one has a map sticked to its surface where several zones can be defined and recognized in a PD patch?
I was thinking of a very general system which includes drawing the map, printing it and stuffing the (metafile graphics format of the) map into an object to get out the zones triggered by the tablet coordinates. This procedure shouldn't be too time-consuming to quickly sketch new setups. Which portable graphics format could be used for that? The only usable one that i know is DXF but that doesn't seem to be common apart from the CAD world....
greetings, Thomas
Hi,
I'd propose an approach where you print the map/draw it by hand and draw the zones to a pd object.. I'd like to do this if I got a tablet object for Pd. The one in gem only sends data when gemwin is selected, which is not what I want..
cheers Juha
