<description summary="Wayland protocol for graphics tablets">
This description provides a high-level overview of the interplay between
the interfaces defined this protocol. For details, see the protocol
specification.
More than one tablet may exist, and device-specifics matter. Tablets are
not represented by a single virtual device like wl_pointer. A client
binds to the tablet manager object which is just a proxy object. From
that, the client requests wp_tablet_manager.get_tablet_seat(wl_seat)
and that returns the actual interface that has all the tablets. With
this indirection, we can avoid merging wp_tablet into the actual Wayland
protocol, a long-term benefit.
The wp_tablet_seat sends a "tablet added" event for each tablet
connected. That event is followed by descriptive events about the
hardware; currently that includes events for name, vid/pid and
a wp_tablet.path event that describes a local path. This path can be
used to uniquely identify a tablet or get more information through
libwacom. Emulated or nested tablets can skip any of those, e.g. a
virtual tablet may not have a vid/pid. The sequence of descriptive
events is terminated by a wp_tablet.done event to signal that a client
may now finalize any initialization for that tablet.
Events from tablets require a tool in proximity. Tools are also managed
by the tablet seat; a "tool added" event is sent whenever a tool is new
to the compositor. That event is followed by a number of descriptive
events about the hardware; currently that includes capabilities,
hardware id and serial number, and tool type. Similar to the tablet
interface, a wp_tablet_tool.done event is sent to terminate that initial
sequence.
Any event from a tool happens on the wp_tablet_tool interface. When the
tool gets into proximity of the tablet, a proximity_in event is sent on
the wp_tablet_tool interface, listing the tablet and the surface. That
event is followed by a motion event with the coordinates. After that,
it's the usual motion, axis, button, etc. events. The protocol's
serialisation means events are grouped by wp_tablet_tool.frame events.
Two special events (that don't exist in X) are down and up. They signal
"tip touching the surface". For tablets without real proximity
detection, the sequence is: proximity_in, motion, down, frame.
When the tool leaves proximity, a proximity_out event is sent. If any
button is still down, a button release event is sent before this
proximity event. These button events are sent in the same frame as the
proximity event to signal to the client that the buttons were held when
the tool left proximity.
If the tool moves out of the surface but stays in proximity (i.e.
between windows), compositor-specific grab policies apply. This usually
means that the proximity-out is delayed until all buttons are released.
Moving a tool physically from one tablet to the other has no real effect
on the protocol, since we already have the tool object from the "tool
added" event. All the information is already there and the proximity
events on both tablets are all a client needs to reconstruct what
happened.
Some extra axes are normalized, i.e. the client knows the range as
specified in the protocol (e.g. [0, 65535]), the granularity however is
unknown. The current normalized axes are pressure, distance, and slider.
Other extra axes are in physical units as specified in the protocol.
The current extra axes with physical units are tilt, rotation and
wheel rotation.
Since tablets work independently of the pointer controlled by the mouse,
the focus handling is independent too and controlled by proximity.
The wp_tablet_tool.set_cursor request sets a tool-specific cursor.
This cursor surface may be the same as the mouse cursor, and it may be
the same across tools but it is possible to be more fine-grained. For
example, a client may set different cursors for the pen and eraser.
Tools are generally independent of tablets and it is
compositor-specific policy when a tool can be removed. Common approaches
will likely include some form of removing a tool when all tablets the
tool was used on are removed.

<description summary="a physical tablet tool">
An object that represents a physical tool that has been, or is

object stays valid until the client destroys it; the compositor
reuses the wp_tablet_tool object to indicate that the object's
respective physical tool has come into proximity of a tablet again.
A wp_tablet_tool object's relation to a physical tool depends on the
tablet's ability to report serial numbers. If the tablet supports
this capability, then the object represents a specific physical tool
and can be identified even when used on multiple tablets.
A tablet tool has a number of static characteristics, e.g. tool type,
hardware_serial and capabilities. These capabilities are sent in an
event sequence after the wp_tablet_seat.tool_added event before any
actual events from this tool. This initial event sequence is
terminated by a wp_tablet_tool.done event.
Tablet tool events are grouped by wp_tablet_tool.frame events.
Any events received before a wp_tablet_tool.frame event should be
considered part of the same hardware state change.

<request name="set_cursor">
<description summary="set the tablet tool's surface">
Sets the surface of the cursor used for this tool on the given
tablet. This request only takes effect if the tool is in proximity
of one of the requesting client's surfaces or the surface parameter
is the current pointer surface. If there was a previous surface set
with this request it is replaced. If surface is NULL, the cursor
image is hidden.
The parameters hotspot_x and hotspot_y define the position of the
pointer surface relative to the pointer location. Its top-left corner
is always at (x, y) - (hotspot_x, hotspot_y), where (x, y) are the
coordinates of the pointer location, in surface-local coordinates.
On surface.attach requests to the pointer surface, hotspot_x and
hotspot_y are decremented by the x and y parameters passed to the
request. Attach must be confirmed by wl_surface.commit as usual.
The hotspot can also be updated by passing the currently set pointer
surface to this request with new values for hotspot_x and hotspot_y.
The current and pending input regions of the wl_surface are cleared,
and wl_surface.set_input_region is ignored until the wl_surface is no
longer used as the cursor. When the use as a cursor ends, the current
and pending input regions become undefined, and the wl_surface is
unmapped.
This request gives the surface the role of a wp_tablet_tool cursor. A
surface may only ever be used as the cursor surface for one
wp_tablet_tool. If the surface already has another role or has
previously been used as cursor surface for a different tool, a
protocol error is raised.

The position is normalized to a range of [0, 65535], the 0-value
represents the top-most and/or left-most position of the strip in
the pad's current rotation.

</event>
<event name="stop">
<description summary="interaction stopped">
Stop notification for strip events.
For some wp_tablet_pad_strip.source types, a wp_tablet_pad_strip.stop
event is sent to notify a client that the interaction with the strip
has terminated. This enables the client to implement kinetic
scrolling. See the wp_tablet_pad_strip.source documentation for
information on when this event may be generated.
Any wp_tablet_pad_strip.position events with the same source after this
event should be considered as the start of a new interaction.
</description>
</event>
<event name="frame">
<description summary="end of a strip event sequence">
Indicates the end of a set of events that represent one logical
hardware strip event. A client is expected to accumulate the data
in all events within the frame before proceeding.
All wp_tablet_pad_strip events before a wp_tablet_pad_strip.frame event belong
logically together. For example, on termination of a finger interaction
on a strip the compositor will send a wp_tablet_pad_strip.source event,
a wp_tablet_pad_strip.stop event and a wp_tablet_pad_strip.frame
event.
A wp_tablet_pad_strip.frame event is sent for every logical event
group, even if the group only contains a single wp_tablet_pad_strip
event. Specifically, a client may get a sequence: position, frame,
position, frame, etc.

<description summary="a set of buttons, rings and strips">
A pad group describes a distinct (sub)set of buttons, rings and strips
present in the tablet. The criteria of this grouping is usually positional,
eg. if a tablet has buttons on the left and right side, 2 groups will be
presented. The physical arrangement of groups is undisclosed and may
change on the fly.
Pad groups will announce their features during pad initialization. Between
the corresponding wp_tablet_pad.group event and wp_tablet_pad_group.done, the
pad group will announce the buttons, rings and strips contained in it,
plus the number of supported modes.
Modes are a mechanism to allow multiple groups of actions for every element
in the pad group. The number of groups and available modes in each is
persistent across device plugs. The current mode is user-switchable, it
will be announced through the wp_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch event both
whenever it is switched, and after wp_tablet_pad.enter.
The current mode logically applies to all elements in the pad group,
although it is at clients' discretion whether to actually perform different
actions, and/or issue the respective .set_feedback requests to notify the
compositor. See the wp_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch event for more details.

Some buttons are reserved by the compositor. These buttons may not be
assigned to any wp_tablet_pad_group. Compositors may broadcast this
event in the case of changes to the mapping of these reserved buttons.

wl_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch event to toggle between these
configurations. Mode indices start at 0.
Switching modes is compositor-dependent. See the
wp_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch event for more details.

description of the tablet to be complete and finalize initialization
of the tablet group.
</description>
</event>
<event name="mode_switch">
<description summary="mode switch event">
Notification that the mode was switched.
A mode applies to all buttons, rings and strips in a group
simultaneously, but a client is not required to assign different actions
for each mode. For example, a client may have mode-specific button
mappings but map the ring to vertical scrolling in all modes. Mode
indices start at 0.
Switching modes is compositor-dependent. The compositor may provide
visual cues to the client about the mode, e.g. by toggling LEDs on
the tablet device. Mode-switching may be software-controlled or
controlled by one or more physical buttons. For example, on a Wacom
Intuos Pro, the button inside the ring may be assigned to switch
between modes.
The compositor will also send this event after wp_tablet_pad.enter on
each group in order to notify of the current mode. Groups that only
feature one mode will use mode=0 when emitting this event.
If a button action in the new mode differs from the action in the
previous mode, the client should immediately issue a
wp_tablet_pad.set_feedback request for each changed button.
If a ring or strip action in the new mode differs from the action
in the previous mode, the client should immediately issue a
wp_tablet_ring.set_feedback or wp_tablet_strip.set_feedback request
for each changed ring or strip.

<description summary="a set of buttons, rings and strips">
A pad device is a set of buttons, rings and strips
usually physically present on the tablet device itself. Some
exceptions exist where the pad device is physically detached, e.g. the
Wacom ExpressKey Remote.
Pad devices have no axes that control the cursor and are generally
auxiliary devices to the tool devices used on the tablet surface.
A pad device has a number of static characteristics, e.g. the number
of rings. These capabilities are sent in an event sequence after the
wp_tablet_seat.pad_added event before any actual events from this pad.
This initial event sequence is terminated by a wp_tablet_pad.done
event.
All pad features (buttons, rings and strips) are logically divided into
groups and all pads have at least one group. The available groups are
notified through the wp_tablet_pad.group event; the compositor will
emit one event per group before emitting wp_tablet_pad.done.
Groups may have multiple modes. Modes allow clients to map multiple
actions to a single pad feature. Only one mode can be active per group,
although different groups may have different active modes.
</description>
<request name="set_feedback">
<description summary="set compositor feedback">
Requests the compositor to use the provided feedback string
associated with this button. This request should be issued immediately
after a wp_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch event from the corresponding
group is received, or whenever a button is mapped to a different
action. See wp_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch for more details.
Clients are encouraged to provide context-aware descriptions for
the actions associated with each button, and compositors may use
this information to offer visual feedback on the button layout
(e.g. on-screen displays).
Button indices start at 0. Setting the feedback string on a button
that is reserved by the compositor (i.e. not belonging to any
wp_tablet_pad_group) does not generate an error but the compositor
is free to ignore the request.
The provided string 'description' is a UTF-8 encoded string to be
associated with this ring, and is considered user-visible; general
internationalization rules apply.
The serial argument will be that of the last
wp_tablet_pad_group.mode_switch event received for the group of this
button. Requests providing other serials than the most recent one will
be ignored.
