Detailed Description

Handling the virtual mode groups of buttons, strips and rings on tablet pad devices. See the libinput documentation for more details.

Function Documentation

◆ libinput_device_tablet_pad_get_mode_group()

struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group* libinput_device_tablet_pad_get_mode_group ( struct libinput_device device,
unsigned int  index 
)

The returned mode group is not refcounted and may become invalid after the next call to libinput. Use libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_ref() and libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_unref() to continue using the handle outside of the immediate scope.

While at least one reference is kept by the caller, the returned mode group will be identical for each subsequent call of this function with the same index and that same struct is returned from libinput_event_tablet_pad_get_mode_group(), provided the event was generated by this mode group.

Parameters
deviceA device with the LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_TABLET_PAD capability
indexA mode group index
Returns
the mode group with the given index or NULL if an invalid index is given.
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_device_tablet_pad_get_num_mode_groups()

int libinput_device_tablet_pad_get_num_mode_groups ( struct libinput_device device)

Most devices only provide a single mode group, however devices such as the Wacom Cintiq 22HD provide two mode groups. If multiple mode groups are available, a caller should use libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_button(), libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_ring() and libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_strip() to associate each button, ring and strip with the correct mode group.

Returns
the number of mode groups available on this device
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_button_is_toggle()

int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_button_is_toggle ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group,
unsigned int  button 
)

The toggle button in a mode group is the button assigned to cycle to or directly assign a new mode when pressed. Not all devices have a toggle button and some devices may have more than one toggle button. For example, the Wacom Cintiq 24HD has six toggle buttons in two groups, each directly selecting one of the three modes per group.

Devices without mode switching capabilities return false for every button.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
buttonA button index, starting at 0
Return values
non-zeroif the button is a mode toggle button for this group, or zero otherwise
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_index()

unsigned int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_index ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group)

The returned number is the same index as passed to libinput_device_tablet_pad_get_mode_group(). For tablets with only one mode this number is always 0.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
Returns
the numeric index this mode group represents, starting at 0
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_mode()

unsigned int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_mode ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group)

Return the current mode this mode group is in. Note that the returned mode is the mode valid as of completing the last libinput_dispatch(). The returned mode may thus be different than the mode returned by libinput_event_tablet_pad_get_mode().

For example, if the mode was toggled three times between the call to libinput_dispatch(), this function returns the third mode but the events in the event queue will return the modes 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
Returns
the numeric index of the current mode in this group, starting at 0
See also
libinput_event_tablet_pad_get_mode
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_num_modes()

unsigned int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_num_modes ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group)

Query the mode group for the number of available modes. The number of modes is usually decided by the number of physical LEDs available on the device. Different mode groups may have a different number of modes. Use libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_mode() to get the currently active mode.

libinput guarantees that at least one mode is available. A device without mode switching capability has a single mode group and a single mode.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
Returns
the number of modes available in this mode group
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_user_data()

void* libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_user_data ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group)

Get the caller-specific data associated with this mode group, if any.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
Returns
Caller-specific data pointer or NULL if none was set

libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_set_user_data
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_button()

int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_button ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group,
unsigned int  button 
)

Devices without mode switching capabilities return true for every button.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
buttonA button index, starting at 0
Returns
true if the given button index is part of this mode group or false otherwise
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_ring()

int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_ring ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group,
unsigned int  ring 
)

Devices without mode switching capabilities return true for every ring.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
ringA ring index, starting at 0
Returns
true if the given ring index is part of this mode group or false otherwise
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_strip()

int libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_has_strip ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group,
unsigned int  strip 
)

Devices without mode switching capabilities return true for every strip.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
stripA strip index, starting at 0
Returns
true if the given strip index is part of this mode group or false otherwise
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_ref()

struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group* libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_ref ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group)

Increase the refcount of the mode group. A mode group will be freed whenever the refcount reaches 0.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
Returns
The passed mode group
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_set_user_data()

void libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_set_user_data ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group,
void *  user_data 
)

Set caller-specific data associated with this mode group. libinput does not manage, look at, or modify this data. The caller must ensure the data is valid.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
user_dataCaller-specific data pointer

libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_get_user_data
Since
1.4

◆ libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_unref()

struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group* libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group_unref ( struct libinput_tablet_pad_mode_group group)

Decrease the refcount of the mode group. A mode group will be freed whenever the refcount reaches 0.

Parameters
groupA previously obtained mode group
Returns
NULL if the group was destroyed, otherwise the passed mode group
