[PD] wacom intuos & PD

[Ian Smith-Heisters]

For linux H.C.Steiner's HID object. I think it may also runs under OSX, 
but I haven't any idea about windows.

The thing is that you're not looking for it to be supported by PD or 
GEM. Hardware is supported by your operating system. Once you have OS 
support you need a way to get the info into Pd, which is usually not 
hardware-specific. People have used tablets with Pd, so an external is 
likely. A quick search in the pdb shows [gemtablet], then there's [hid] 
which I mentioned already, and there are probably a couple others 
floating around.

If, for some reason, none of the Pd externals works with your tablet, 
you still most likely will not need to write a driver. All you would 
need to do is write a Pd external to capture the tablet events from the 
operating system.

Of course, I've never done any of this, so I may be totally wrong ;)
