Linux 下绘图板配置

作为一个绘画爱好者，绘图板是必不可少的。 怎奈Linux下面绘图板时认时不认，压感也时支持时不支持。 今天终于下决心弄好它。

我的板子是Tooya Pro，USB版。 Linux下认成WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet
系统是Ubuntu 8.04

首先是要定位设备名，一种方法是找到绘图板是哪一个/dev/input/event*，这又有多种方法，一种是看dmesg，记住pci地址，然后去/dev/input/by-path找到对应的，再看其是哪个/dev/input/event*的symlink；另一种方法是用wacdump挨个测试/dev/input/event*。当然也可以二者结合使用。在我机器上绘图板是/dev/input/event2

由于我对/dev/input/event*命名不是很了解，所以担心改了配置后这个数值会变，于是再一个网页上学到了修改udev rules的方法，让它自动建立symlink。后来发现wacom就是这样做的。
具体方法是首先用lsusb等工具找到设备的idProduct和idVendor。 我的绘图板在lsusb下看是172f:0031
然后建立文件/etc/udev/rules.d/65-tablet.rules:
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0031", SYSFS{idVendor}=="172f", SYMLINK+="input/tablet"
这样以后会自动建立/dev/input/tablet到对应/dev/input/event*的symlink，很是方便。

下一步是需要确定板子的坐标范围（或许这步可以省略），主要是用wacdump看看板子左上角和右下角的坐标。后来我有参考了以下板子的说明书，得到坐标(0,0)-(10000,6250)

接着当然是修改xorg.conf （听说最新的Xorg对即插即用支持得很好，真希望不用老改这玩意儿了）
ServerLayout Section中加一句
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
然后加一个InputDevice Section
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/tablet"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "TopX" "0"
Option "TopY" "0"
Option "BottomX" "10000"
Option "BottomY" "6250"
Option "MaxX" "10000"
Option "MaxY" "6250"
EndSection

注意我只添加了一个stylus设备，eraser, pad之类的都不需要

最后，软件也得配置一下，比如Gimp。

按理说重启X就应该行了，可是我这里一定要重启系统，要不压感说什么都不认。

另外有个Gnome Graphics Tablet Apps，也有些帮助。

这样就完美了。

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

[转] UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux

这几天,这个东西把我搞得很头疼 而且这篇文章好像太大了,blogger自己的发布系统不能发 只好用mail了 //原文 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux by Markus Kuhn This text is a very comprehensive one-stop information resource on how you can use Unicode/UTF-8 on POSIX systems (Linux, Unix). You will find here both introductory information for every user, as well as detailed references for the experienced developer. Unicode has started to replace ASCII, ISO 8859 and EUC at all levels. It enables users to handle not only practically any script and language used on this planet, it also supports a comprehensive set of mathematical and technical symbols to simplify scientific information exchange. With the UTF-8 encoding, Unicode can be used in a convenient and backwards compatible way in environments that were designed entirely around ASCII, like Unix. UTF-8 is the way in which Unicode is used under Unix, Linux, and similar systems. It is now time to make sure that you are well familiar ...

Moving Items Along Bezier Curves with CSS Animation (Part 2: Time Warp)

This is a follow-up of my earlier article.  I realized that there is another way of achieving the same effect. This article has lots of nice examples and explanations, the basic idea is to make very simple @keyframe rules, usually just a linear movement, then use timing function to distort the time, such that the motion path becomes the desired curve. I'd like to call it the "time warp" hack. Demo See the Pen Interactive cubic Bezier curve + CSS animation by Lu Wang ( @coolwanglu ) on CodePen . How does it work? Recall that a cubic Bezier curve is defined by this formula : \[B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0+3(1-t)^2tP_1+3(1-t)t^2P_2+t^3P_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] In the 2D case, \(B(t)\) has two coordinates, \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\). Define \(x_i\) to the be x coordinate of \(P_i\), then we have: \[x(t) = (1-t)^3x_0+3(1-t)^2tx_1+3(1-t)t^2x_2+t^3x_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] So, for our animated element, we want to make sure that the x coordiante (i.e. the "left" CSS property) is \(...
