[PD] using graphics tablet for input

[Juha Vehviläinen]

Hi,

I'd propose an approach where you print the map/draw it by hand and
draw the zones to a pd object.. I'd like to do this if I got a tablet
object for Pd. The one in gem only sends data when gemwin is
selected, which is not what I want..

cheers
Juha
