2 System Specific Notes | |
3 =========================================================================== | |
4 Linux: | |
5 The linux touch system is currently based off event streams, and proc/bus/devices. The active user must be given permissions to read /dev/input/TOUCHDEVICE, where TOUCHDEVICE is the event stream for your device. Currently only Wacom tablets are supported. If you have an unsupported tablet contact me at jim.tla+sdl_touch@gmail.com and I will help you get support for it. | |
6 | |
7 Mac: | |
8 The Mac and Iphone API's are pretty. If your touch device supports them then you'll be fine. If it doesn't, then there isn't much we can do. | |
9 | |
10 iPhone: | |
11 Works out of box. | |

13 Windows: |
4690 | 14 Unfortunately there is no windows support as of yet. Support for Windows 7 is planned, but we currently have no way to test. If you have a Windows 7 WM_TOUCH supported device, and are willing to help test please contact me at jim.tla+sdl_touch@gmail.com |

83 This returns an SDL_Finger*, or null if the finger does not exist, or has been removed. |
4690 | 84 An SDL_Finger is guaranteed to be persistent for the duration of a touch, but it will be de-allocated as soon as the finger is removed. This occurs when the SDL_FINGERUP event is _added_ to the event queue, and thus _before_ the FINGERUP event is polled. |
