tmplDevicePadT()

gdk.device_pad.DevicePad is an interface implemented by devices of type gdk.types.InputSource.TabletPad

It allows querying the features provided by the pad device.

Tablet pads may contain one or more groups, each containing a subset of the buttons/rings/strips available. gdk.device_pad.DevicePad.getNGroups can be used to obtain the number of groups, gdk.device_pad.DevicePad.getNFeatures and gdk.device_pad.DevicePad.getFeatureGroup can be combined to find out the number of buttons/rings/strips the device has, and how are they grouped.

Each of those groups have different modes, which may be used to map each individual pad feature to multiple actions. Only one mode is effective (current) for each given group, different groups may have different current modes. The number of available modes in a group can be found out through gdk.device_pad.DevicePad.getGroupNModes, and the current mode for a given group will be notified through events of type gdk.types.EventType.PadGroupMode.

Functions

int getFeatureGroup(gdk.types.DevicePadFeature feature, int featureIdx)

Returns the group the given feature and idx belong to.

f the feature or index do not exist in pad, -1 is returned.

Parameters

`feature`	the feature type to get the group from
`featureIdx`	the index of the feature to get the group from

Returns

The group number of the queried pad feature.

int getGroupNModes(int groupIdx)

Returns the number of modes that group may have.

Parameters

groupIdx group to get the number of available modes from

Returns

The number of modes available in group.

int getNFeatures(gdk.types.DevicePadFeature feature)

Returns the number of features a tablet pad has.

Parameters

feature a pad feature

Returns

The amount of elements of type feature that this pad has.

int getNGroups()

Returns the number of groups this pad device has.

Pads have at least one group. A pad group is a subcollection of buttons/strip/rings that is affected collectively by a same current mode.

Returns

The number of button/ring/strip groups in the pad.
