A graphics tablet is a useful acquisition for almost every screen artist, pixel painters excluded. Atari itself offered the Maltafel for the 8-bit computers and for the ST there were later various graphics tablets from third party manufacturers, some of them especially for technical drawings. With PixArt, which supported Wacom tablets, the graphics tablets experienced a small renaissance. But what about more modern tablets, those with USB connection? For these Perdrix24 has announced a driver on YouTube and Atari-Forum.com. The tablet simulates the mouse: The tip of the pen acts as the left mouse button, the buttons on the pen as the right mouse button. The mouse pointer is moved by slightly lifting the pen. Four function keys can be programmed to corresponding Atari keys. Graphics programs can query the pressure strength - a possible candidate for implementation would be the graphics program Vision, which is being further developed.
