[HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input

[Julio Costa Zambelli]

Dear Bernard,

I am not sure if I understood the whole question but here is a short video
with the tablet working with FastDraw: https://youtu.be/_mokVKkocOc

The new polygon is being drawn with the default node spacing. The
lower/older one was drawn some time ago with a more dense configuration (I
had to reinstall JOSM a couple of days ago and I suspect I lost my
customized FastDraw configuration).

And a photo of the tablet itself:
