What is bbTablet?

bbTablet

bbTablet is a handy tool that makes it super easy to get started with tablet support, especially if you need something quick and simple. While it's not the most advanced code out there, it works great for whipping up a first draft or doing some research. Plus, the source code is totally free! This means you can modify it as needed to get more access to the Wintab API.

Easy to Use and Quick Setup

With bbTablet, you can jump from having no tablet support at all to being able to read basic pressure levels in almost no time. It's designed for ease of use, so you won’t have to spend hours figuring things out. And here's a cool feature: if you're using compatible tablets like the Intuos or Intuos II series from Wacom, you can even get 3D rotation for your brush orientation! Just keep in mind that setting this up might take a bit more effort than you'd expect.

Understanding the API Functionality

bbTablet provides a bare-bones digitizing tablet interface C API for Win32. The neat thing about this API is that it takes most of your tablet's integer values and converts them into single-precision floating-point numbers ranging from [0,1). That means whether your pen has 512 levels of pressure or 1024, you don't have to stress about it. Zero pressure is marked as 0 and full pressure as 1.0. It works similarly with positional values too; they are reported as [0,1) floats.
