    public class QTabletEvent

extends QInputEvent

The `QTabletEvent` class contains parameters that describe a Tablet event. Tablet Events are generated from a Wacom tablet. Most of the time you will want to deal with events from the tablet as if they were events from a mouse; for example, you would retrieve the cursor position with `x()`, `y()`, `pos()`, `globalX()`, `globalY()`, and `globalPos()`. In some situations you may wish to retrieve the extra information provided by the tablet device driver; for example, you might want to do subpixeling with higher resolution coordinates or you may want to adjust color brightness based on pressure. `QTabletEvent` allows you to read the `pressure()`, the `xTilt()`, and `yTilt()`, as well as the type of device being used with `device()` (see `TabletDevice` ). It can also give you the minimum and maximum values for each device's pressure and high resolution coordinates.

A tablet event contains a special accept flag that indicates whether the receiver wants the event. You should call `QTabletEvent::accept()` if you handle the tablet event; otherwise it will be sent to the parent widget. The exception are `TabletEnterProximity` and `TabletLeaveProximity` events, these are only sent to `QApplication` and don't check whether or not they are accepted.

The `QWidget::setEnabled()` function can be used to enable or disable mouse and keyboard events for a widget.

The event handler `QWidget::tabletEvent()` receives all three types of tablet events. Qt will first send a `tabletEvent` then, if it is not accepted, it will send a mouse event. This allows applications that don't utilize tablets to use a tablet like a mouse, while also enabling those who want to use both tablets and mouses differently.

## Notes for X11 Users

Qt uses the following hard-coded names to identify tablet devices from the xorg.conf file on X11 (apart from IRIX): 'stylus', 'pen', and 'eraser'. If the devices have other names, they will not be picked up Qt.

Constructor Detail

### QTabletEvent

    public QTabletEvent(QEvent.Type t,
                        QPoint pos,
                        QPoint globalPos,
                        QPointF hiResGlobalPos,
                        int device,
                        int pointerType,
                        double pressure,
                        int xTilt,
                        int yTilt,
                        double tangentialPressure,
                        double rotation,
                        int z,
                        Qt.KeyboardModifiers keyState,
                        long uniqueID)

  Construct a tablet event of the given `type`.

  The `pos` parameter indicates where the event occurred in the widget; `globalPos` is the corresponding position in absolute coordinates. The `hiResGlobalPos` contains a high resolution measurement of the position.

  `pressure` contains the pressure exerted on the `device`.

  `pointerType` describes the type of pen that is being used.

  `xTilt` and `yTilt` contain the device's degree of tilt from the x and y axes respectively.

  `keyState` specifies which keyboard modifiers are pressed (e.g., Ctrl).

  The `uniqueID` parameter contains the unique ID for the current device.

  The `z` parameter contains the coordinate of the device on the tablet, this is usually given by a wheel on 4D mouse. If the device does not support a Z-axis, pass zero here.

  The `tangentialPressure` paramater contins the tangential pressure of an air brush. If the device does not support tangential pressure, pass 0 here.

  `rotation` contains the device's rotation in degrees. 4D mice support rotation. If the device does not support rotation, pass 0 here.

  `pos()`, `globalPos()`, `device()`, `pressure()`, `xTilt()`, `yTilt()`, `uniqueId()`, `rotation()`, `tangentialPressure()`, and `z()`.

Method Detail

### device

    public final QTabletEvent.TabletDevice device()

  Returns the type of device that generated the event.

See also:
  `TabletDevice` .

### globalPos

    public final QPoint globalPos()

  Returns the global position of the device at the time of the event. This is important on asynchronous windows systems like X11; whenever you move your widgets around in response to mouse events, `globalPos()` can differ significantly from the current position `QCursor::pos()`.

See also:
  `globalX()`, `globalY()`, and `hiResGlobalPos()`.

### globalX

    public final int globalX()

  Returns the global x position of the mouse pointer at the time of the event.

See also:
  `globalY()`, `globalPos()`, and `hiResGlobalX()`.

### globalY

    public final int globalY()

  Returns the global y position of the tablet device at the time of the event.

See also:
  `globalX()`, `globalPos()`, and `hiResGlobalY()`.

### hiResGlobalPos

    public final QPointF hiResGlobalPos()

  The high precision coordinates delivered from the tablet expressed. Sub pixeling information is in the fractional part of the `QPointF`.

See also:
  `globalPos()`, `hiResGlobalX()`, and `hiResGlobalY()`.

### hiResGlobalX

    public final double hiResGlobalX()

  The high precision x position of the tablet device.

### hiResGlobalY

    public final double hiResGlobalY()

  The high precision y position of the tablet device.

### pointerType

    public final QTabletEvent.PointerType pointerType()

  Returns the type of point that generated the event.

### pos

    public final QPoint pos()

  Returns the position of the device, relative to the widget that received the event.

  If you move widgets around in response to mouse events, use `globalPos()` instead of this function.

See also:
  `x()`, `y()`, and `globalPos()`.

### pressure

    public final double pressure()

  Returns the pressure for the device. 0.0 indicates that the stylus is not on the tablet, 1.0 indicates the maximum amount of pressure for the stylus.

See also:
  `tangentialPressure()`.

### rotation

    public final double rotation()

  Returns the rotation of the current device in degress. This is usually given by a 4D Mouse. If the device doesn't support rotation this value is always 0.0.

### tangentialPressure

    public final double tangentialPressure()

  Returns the tangential pressure for the device. This is typically given by a finger wheel on an airbrush tool. The range is from -1.0 to 1.0. 0.0 indicates a neutral position. Current airbrushes can only move in the positive direction from the neutrual position. If the device does not support tangential pressure, this value is always 0.0.

See also:
  `pressure()`.

### uniqueId

    public final long uniqueId()

  Returns a unique ID for the current device, making it possible to differentiate between multiple devices being used at the same time on the tablet.

  Support of this feature is dependent on the tablet.

  Values for the same device may vary from OS to OS.

  Later versions of the Wacom driver for Linux will now report the ID information. If you have a tablet that supports unique ID and are not getting the information on Linux, consider upgrading your driver.

  As of Qt 4.2, the unique ID is the same regardless of the orientation of the pen. Earlier versions would report a different value when using the eraser-end versus the pen-end of the stylus on some OS's.

See also:
  `pointerType()`.

### x

    public final int x()

  Returns the x position of the device, relative to the widget that received the event.

See also:
  `y()`, and `pos()`.

### xTilt

    public final int xTilt()

  Returns the angle between the device (a pen, for example) and the perpendicular in the direction of the x axis. Positive values are towards the tablet's physical right. The angle is in the range -60 to +60 degrees.

See also:
  `yTilt()`.

### y

    public final int y()

  Returns the y position of the device, relative to the widget that received the event.

See also:
  `x()`, and `pos()`.

### yTilt

    public final int yTilt()

  Returns the angle between the device (a pen, for example) and the perpendicular in the direction of the y axis. Positive values are towards the bottom of the tablet. The angle is within the range -60 to +60 degrees.

See also:
  `xTilt()`.

### z

    public final int z()

  Returns the z position of the device. Typically this is represented by a wheel on a 4D Mouse. If the device does not support a Z-axis, this value is always zero. This is not the same as pressure.

See also:
  `pressure()`.

### setMUnique

    protected final void setMUnique(long mUnique)

### mUnique

    protected final long mUnique()

### setMHiResGlobalPos

    protected final void setMHiResGlobalPos(QPointF mHiResGlobalPos)

### mHiResGlobalPos

    protected final QPointF mHiResGlobalPos()

### fromNativePointer

    public static QTabletEvent fromNativePointer(QNativePointer nativePointer)

  This method returns the QTabletEvent instance pointed to by `nativePointer`.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns a string representation of the `this QTabletEvent`.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `QInputEvent`
