TabletKit Description

The TabletKit defines a high level framework and API that facilitates
communication between applications and graphics tablets. Tablet input
occurs independent of both the mouse and a specific display area of
the screen. This framework eases development of applications relying
on tablet information for digitizing graphs, maps, and other images,
in addition to free hand drawing, gesture recognition, and many other
activities requiring a tablet and stylus or cursor as the primary mode
of input. The TabletKit fully supports features common to many tablets
including:

	-  Transmission control settings (baud rate, parity, etc.)
	-  Communication protocol settings
	-  Alternate report formats and report frequency
	-  Resolution and orientation settings
	-  Multi-button pressure and angle sensitive stylus
	-  4-button and 16-button cursor

The TabletKit also provides a high-level API for developers that
allows creation of custom tablet reader bundles for reading data from
tablets with currently unsupported data formats. The TabletKit
currently provides two bundles for reading the MM/SummaSketch and
UIOF/Microgrid binary data formats.

The distribution includes high quality documentation, an example
drawing application, and source code for the supplied tablet reader
bundles which utilize the TabletReader API.
