TS_TEST_MT(1)

💖 TS_TEST_MT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ts_test_mt, the multitouch test program from tslib 🌈 she's the one you call when you wanna poke your touchscreen and see what it says back 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ts_test_mt [OPTION]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one program, some options, endless touchy possibilities 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so ts_test_mt is literally here to test tslib using ts_read_mt() — go look at ts_read_mt(3) if you wanna know the deets 👑 It works for both single touch AND multi touch devices, and it lets you test how the input behaves with tslib's filters applied ✨ like, filters on, bestie. the full experience.

there are two modes, and you pick between them with buttons on the display:

• Drag mode — one crosshair gets drawn to the framebuffer display for each concurrently made touch contact 💫 so if you're touching with five fingers, you get five crosshairs, no cap.
• Draw mode — lines are drawed for each touch contact 🖍️ yeah. drawed. she said what she said. you touch, it draws, art happens.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -r, --rotate [value] — rotates the screen, iconic behaviour honestly. value is 0 for 0 degree, 1 for 90 degrees (CW), 2 for 180 degrees (upside down) and 3 for 270 degrees (CCW) 🔄 pick your angle, rotate your whole world.
• -v, --verbose — prints the input samples' values to the console 🖨️ so you can actually see the numbers instead of just vibing with the crosshairs.
• -j, --slots — overrides the number of concurrent touch contacts to allocate 🫰 like, how many fingers do you think you have? tell her.
• -i, --idev — explicitly chooses the original input event device for tslib to use 🎯 Default: the environment variable TSLIB_TSDEVICE's value. so if you don't say anything, she's reading that env var, periodt.
• -n, --samples — automatically exits after having read n samples 👋 set a number, she dips when she hits it. no awkward goodbyes.
• -a, --altcross — shows an alternative crosshair symbol at the touch points ✨ same touch points, new fit. it's giving glow-up.
