[OSM-talk] Using digital tablet for drawing maps

[Chris Browet]

Funny you speak about that...

I recently found back my ages old Wacom Tablet and tried it with Merkaartor.
Looks like Qt has some kind of builtin supoort for tablets (or was it
Windows 7?) but it worked out-of-the-box (in tablet mode, not mouse
emulation).

That made me add a hand grabbing icon to Merkaartor, just for niceness ;-)
