Wacom's graphic tablet sizes (2)

2018-10-03 00:00:00 +0200

In a previous entry I put the data I’ve collected about Wacom digitizer tablets. Collecting the data took to me more time I really wished. But now I’m happy to publish an exhaustive list thanks to Carlos Garnacho:

As a reference these are the standards DIN sizes comparable with those models:

DIN type	size
A4	210 x 297 mm
A5	148 x 210 mm
A6	105 x 148 mm

The source of this data is directly from the Wacom driver and is extracted with this C program Carlos provided:

/* Build with:
 *   gcc -o wacomfoo `pkg-config --libs --cflags libwacom` wacomfoo.c
 */
 
#define IN_TO_MM 25.4
 
#include <libwacom/libwacom.h>
 
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  const WacomDeviceDatabase *db;
  WacomDevice **devices;
  int i;
 
  db = libwacom_database_new ();
  devices = libwacom_list_devices_from_database (db, NULL);
  printf ("| model | active area size mm | active area size in | \n");
  printf ("|:--------- |:--------- |:--------- | \n");

  for (i = 0; devices[i] != NULL; i++)
    {
      if (libwacom_get_width (devices[i]) == 0)
        continue;
      printf ("| %s | %.f ✕ %.f mm | %.f ✕ %.f in | \n",
              libwacom_get_name (devices[i]),
              (double) libwacom_get_width (devices[i]) * IN_TO_MM,
              (double) libwacom_get_height (devices[i]) * IN_TO_MM,
              (double) libwacom_get_width (devices[i]),
              (double) libwacom_get_height (devices[i]));
    }
  return 0;
}

PD: Fixed the correct value for milimeters per inch.

Wacom's graphic tablet sizes

2018-09-24 00:00:00 +0200

For some reasons I’ve been looking for second hand Wacom graphic tablets. To me has been annoying to find out which size is for each model. So I’m writing here the list of the models I gathered.

The reason for looking only for Wacoms is because these days seem to be very well supported in Linux, at least the old models you can get second hand.

model	active area size
CTL460	147,2 x 92,0 mm
CTL 420	127.6 x 92.8 mm
CTE-430 Graphire 3	127 x 101 mm
CTF-430	127.6 x 92.8 mm
CTL 460	147,2 x 92,0 mm
CTH-460	147,2 x 92,0 mm
CTH-461	147,2 x 92,0 mm
CTH-470	147,2 x 92,0 mm
CTL-470	147,2 x 92,0 mm
CTL-480 Intuos	152 x 95 mm
CTE-640	208.8 x 150.8 mm
CTE-650	216.5 x 135.3 mm
CTH-661	215.9 x 137.16 mm
CTH-670	217 x 137 mm
ET-0405A-U	127 x 106 mm
Graphire 2	127.6 x 92.8 mm
Intuos 2	127.6 x 92.8 mm (probably)
Volito 2	127.6 x 92.8 mm

As a reference these are the standards DIN sizes comparable with those models:

DIN type	size
A4	210 x 297 mm
A5	148 x 210 mm
A6	105 x 148 mm

If you find any typo or want to add other models feel free to comment.

Running EPF (Eclipse Process Framework) Composer in Linux, v2

2018-07-27 00:00:00 +0200

From time to time I pretend to do practical work with EPF Composer and alwys my first handicap is to get it running natively in Linux but for one reason or another I always got stucked with the provided linux build.

This time I chose a different approach using the Windows build which it’s known it’s working using Wine as a compatibility layer. It worked. These are the installing instructions:

First we’ll create a separate Wine folder and, important, set to Win32 architecture, used in the EPF Composer build_:

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-epf-1.5.2
export WINEARCH=win32

Now we install Internet Explorer 8 using the nice winetricks tool since EPF Composer uses it for the HTML forms:

winetricks winxp ie8 corefonts

Install a Java runtime. I’ve only tried with te Oracle one:

wine jre-8u181-windows-i586.exe

In the Wine filesystem unzip the EPF Composer build:

cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/
unzip ~/epf-composer-1.5.2-win32.zip 
chmod a+x cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/epf-composer/epf.exe

And now you should be able to run EPF Composer:

$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/epf-composer/epf.exe

You can launch it from other terminal without declaring the Wine enviroment variables:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-epf-1.5.2 WINEARCH=win32 ~/.wine-epf-1.5.2//drive_c/Program\ Files/epf-composer/epf.exe 

And that’s it.

I didn’t started to do real work yet but it seems 100% operative.

As I’m using a 14” HD screen My only important concern are the font sizes. For some reasons changing resolution and font sizes with winecfg gaves some weird results.

Hope this helps.

PD: Added winxp and corefonts to the winetricks invocation
