Touch Panel reporting XY co-ordinates


 

Just wondering if any one has a thought on this.
I have a video wall that I want to control the position of windows.
Instead of using sliders I wanted to make it so you could control it on a TSW panel.
Initially thought the switcher widget or the gesture widget could work somehow but
1)switcher widget allows the same inputs in multiple places
2) gesture control is simply a swipe up/down/left/right command

Next, I thought of somehow reading the XY position of the input on the panel and using that to move the position. But don't think this can be done.

Any ideas?


 

You used to be able to do this with a 2-D slider. With some tinkering maybe a gesture canvas could work.

On a TSW, no, but on panels that support annotation you can set the video window to output like a standard windows mouse driver and you can glean coordinates from that.

I set up a TPS-12 to run through a Pro2 to a Boeckeler Pointmaker once and it might be the kind of thing you could work with.

The last time I checked, though, Core3UI/Smartgraphics still didn't support that kind of thing (although it has been a few months, I've been slack)

I've been planning to create a custom gesture canvas with the SDK, but I never have the time to work it all out. It is definitely possible with core 3 hardware and SDK supported, just no current control. A while back they had a custom animation control, and I was able to make it happen. They removed it because I pushed the control a little hard, possible a larger problem that I stirred up, hopefully it will pop back up soon.
