# Device-agnostic Cross-platform Tablet Library 🐙✨

[![Crates.io Version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/octotablet?style=for-the-badge)](https://crates.io/crates/octotablet)

[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/octotablet?style=for-the-badge)](https://docs.rs/octotablet/latest/octotablet/)

Cross-platform high-level tablet/pad/stylus library, reporting connected hardware features and providing easy-to-use

event-based access to user input.

## [Examples](examples/README.md)

See [the examples](examples/README.md) for features and usage with several windowing abstractions.

In particular, `eframe-viewer` provides a nice interface to debug your devices and view many of the capabilities of this crate.

## 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:

```bash

RUSTFLAGS="--cfg docsrs" cargo doc

```

This is still restricted by enabled features.
