GLUTTABLETMOTIONFUNC(3)

✨ GLUTTABLETMOTIONFUNC ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the GLUTTABLETMOTIONFUNC(3) page — this one lives in the OpenGLUT manual, specifically the input section 💖 pull up a chair, we're talking tablets.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

glutTabletMotionFunc — sets a tablet motion callback. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it 💅

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

OpenGLUT — input 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutTabletMotionFunc(void (* callback)( int x, int y ));

like, copy that exactly, no cap 🫶

---

🍓 PARAMETERS 🍓

• callback — your client tablet motion hook. this is the little function you hand over so OpenGLUT knows who to scream at when the tablet moves ✨

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕ this function registers a callback through which OpenGLUT reports a puck or stylus position, and that position comes in the range of [0, 2000] along the x and y axes. two thousand!! that's the whole vibe range, bestie 🦋

and the callback is bound to the current window — literally the window that's current when you call this, that's her home, that's where she stays 💖

---

💀 CAVEATS 💀

ok so sit down for this one:

• OpenGLUT does not implement tablet support. i know. i KNOW. it's giving "the function exists but the feature said no" 😭
• This API does not include tilt information. no tilt. none. zero tilt energy. the tablet can lean however it wants and we will simply never know 🙈

---

🧚 TODO 🧚

so the notes say we might want to add support for this sooner or later 👀 and honestly? fair.

the reasoning goes like this: although a tablet could also be generalized as a mouse 🖱️ — like, same family, different font — there are relatively cheap AipTek HyperPen tablets out there, and slightly less cheap Wacom tablets sitting on many store shelves 🛒✨ so the hardware is literally right there waiting, iykyk.
