Device-agnostic Cross-platform Tablet Library 🐙✨

Cross-platform high-level tablet/pad/stylus library, reporting connected hardware features and providing easy-to-use event-based access to user input.

Platform Support

Platform Support
Linux/Wayland (tablet_unstable_v2) Complete[^1]
Windows (Ink RealTimeStylus) Complete[^2]
Linux/X11 (xinput) I'll try
MacOS Help needed
IOS Help needed
Android Help needed
Windows (Winuser.h Pointer API) Not planned
Windows (wintab, proprietary) Not planned

[^1]: Compositor conformance to this protocol is hit or miss and some features may not work (to be expected from an unstable protocol I guess!) [^2]: Only Tablets and Tools - Pads and associated hardware are not exposed by the Ink API. The status of pad hardware on windows is dire, often reported as emulated mouse/keyboard events!

Device Support

So far, tested on:

  • Wacom Cintiq 16 [DTK-1660]
  • Wacom Intuos (S) [CTL-4100]
  • Wacom Intuos Pro small [PTH-451]
  • Wacom Pro Pen 2
  • Wacom Pro Pen 2k
  • XP-Pen Deco-01

Documenting

By default, documentation contains the current platform's capabilities only (ie, building docs on windows will omit everything wayland-related). Run rustdoc with the docsrs cfg set in order to generate documentation for all platforms regardless of host platform:

RUSTFLAGS="--cfg docsrs" cargo doc

This is still restricted by enabled features.
