Short: Driver for gfx tablets and serial mices DESCRIPTION GTDriver is a program to control serial graphic tablets and serial mice with your Amiga. Version 1.0 of GTDriver supports the following tablets: - Summagraphics MM - Summagraphics Bitpadone - CalComp 2000 - Cherry - TekTronix 4957 - Wacom and the following mice: - Microsoft mouse - Mouse System mouse If your tablet or mouse emulates one of the previous models you can use it with GTDriver (if not, contact the authors to have your device supported in the next release of the package). GTDriver has many parameters that can be configured using the prefs program GTDOptions. Among the parameters you find the emulation type, the baud rate, the dpi tablet resolution, the dimensions of the clip region, etc. GTDriver has two working modes: 'driver mode' and 'server mode'. In 'driver mode' the pointing device of the tablet becomes a mouse replacement, and you can use the tablet with any program. If you have a digitizing puck, it may have more than two buttons. However, only three buttons are supported in 'driver mode'. The third button is mapped to the third Amiga mouse button (that is supported by few programs). 'Server mode' is intended for programmers only. You can write your own programs that use GTDriver in server mode: in this way GTDriver will not control the screen pointer, and will send complete tablet information to your program in a documented format. By using GTDriver in 'server mode' your software can take full advantage of any tablet feature. GTDriver supports user-defined tablet buttons (called pseudo-buttons or p-buttons). A p-button is a rectangular area on the tablet, to which an arbitrary key combination has been associated. Whenever you press the stylus on a pseudo button, its key combination is sent to the active program just like you were pressing it on the keyboard. As many programs use keyboard shortcuts to select tools and menu items, you can define sets of p-buttons even for programs not explicitly written to work with GTDriver. For example, you can use Deluxe Paint or DynaCadd with a graphic tablet without having tool bars on the screen, without selecting menu items and, most of all, without the software being aware of GTDriver! SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS GTDriver needs at least Kickstart/Workbench 2.04 to run. A fast CPU it's not required but the driver may have better performance with it. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1231 706 42.6% 26-Oct-94 22:53:32 Distrib/8 color Icons.info 1614 730 54.7% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/8 color Icons/DPaint.but.info 1697 1172 30.9% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/8 color Icons/GTDOptions.info 1601 784 51.0% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/8 color Icons/GTDriver.info 948 240 74.6% 26-Oct-94 22:53:26 Distrib/docs.info 54729 17785 67.5% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/docs/GTDriver.ANSI 1369 321 76.5% 26-Oct-94 22:51:12 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.ansi.info 104728 30218 71.1% 03-Nov-94 20:00:06 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.dvi 1356 355 73.8% 26-Oct-94 22:51:12 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.dvi.info 65978 19964 69.7% 03-Nov-94 20:00:06 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.guide 1366 487 64.3% 26-Oct-94 22:51:12 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.guide.info 53429 17777 66.7% 03-Nov-94 20:00:06 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.txt 1369 298 78.2% 26-Oct-94 22:51:12 Distrib/docs/gtdriver.txt.info 36676 18952 48.3% 03-Nov-94 20:00:04 Distrib/GTDOptions 954 411 56.9% 26-Oct-94 22:50:48 Distrib/GTDOptions.info 95636 45573 52.3% 03-Nov-94 20:00:04 Distrib/GTDriver 1018 369 63.7% 26-Oct-94 22:50:48 Distrib/GTDriver.info 313 221 29.3% 30-Oct-94 15:27:08 Distrib/HISTORY 477 240 49.6% 26-Oct-94 22:50:48 Distrib/HISTORY.info 948 246 74.0% 26-Oct-94 22:54:16 Distrib/Misc.info 12936 3922 69.6% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Misc/RAW_A1000.pic 460 272 40.8% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Misc/RAW_A1000.pic.info 11898 3998 66.3% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Misc/RAW_A2000.pic 460 271 41.0% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Misc/RAW_A2000.pic.info 948 246 74.0% 26-Oct-94 22:53:38 Distrib/PButtons.info 5210 1602 69.2% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/PButtons/DPaint.but 1103 421 61.8% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/PButtons/DPaint.But.info 10714 4165 61.1% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/PButtons/DPaint_mask.pagestream2 490 174 64.4% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/PButtons/DPaint_mask.pagestream2.info 10714 4165 61.1% 26-Oct-94 17:15:38 Distrib/PButtons/DPaint_mask.ps2 490 174 64.4% 26-Oct-94 17:15:38 Distrib/PButtons/DPaint_mask.ps2.info 948 246 74.0% 03-Nov-94 19:59:08 Distrib/Programming.info 948 243 74.3% 03-Nov-94 19:59:04 Distrib/Programming/include.info 4624 1876 59.4% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/Programming/include/GTDriverMPC.h 486 270 44.4% 27-Oct-94 00:03:40 Distrib/Programming/include/GTDriverMPC.h.info 948 240 74.6% 03-Nov-94 19:59:04 Distrib/Programming/SetBut.info 2236 1551 30.6% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Programming/SetBut/SetBut 2259 961 57.4% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Programming/SetBut/SetBut.c 307 192 37.4% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Programming/SetBut/SetBut.readme 948 245 74.1% 03-Nov-94 19:59:04 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords.info 83 76 8.4% 07-Jan-80 22:35:54 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/SCOPTIONS 16596 10201 38.5% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords 6045 2213 63.3% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords.c 486 279 42.5% 27-Oct-94 00:00:14 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords.c.info 835 395 52.6% 27-Oct-94 00:00:14 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords.info 98 78 20.4% 07-Jan-80 22:35:54 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords.lnk 4660 2362 49.3% 07-Jan-80 22:35:54 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords.o 575 328 42.9% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/Programming/ShowCoords/ShowCoords.readme 948 248 73.8% 03-Nov-94 19:59:04 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints.info 83 75 9.6% 07-Jan-80 22:40:16 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/SCOPTIONS 14940 9206 38.3% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints 5986 2189 63.4% 03-Nov-94 20:00:08 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints.c 486 278 42.7% 27-Oct-94 00:00:16 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints.c.info 835 396 52.5% 27-Oct-94 00:00:16 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints.info 98 78 20.4% 07-Jan-80 22:50:34 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints.lnk 4400 2275 48.2% 07-Jan-80 22:50:32 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints.o 615 351 42.9% 03-Nov-94 20:00:10 Distrib/Programming/ShowPoints/ShowPoints.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 554333 213111 61.5% 05-Nov-94 07:10:30 57 files
