I am thinking about making programs using TQt3 as a base rather than Qt5, how well would drawing tablet features such as pen sensitivity and tilt be supported with this GUI toolkit? Also, would modern versions of windows like windows 7 and on be able to compile TQt3? Thanks.
Hello,
TQt seems to provide support for graphical tablets. There is example source code (https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tqt3/src/branch/master/examp...) which you can have a look at.
You could also see how it is practically implemented in TDE's Krita (a.k.a. Chalk) which provides support for drawing tablets (unfortunately I have not had a chance to test it with mine yet).
There is a special section in Chalk's Preferences for drawing tablets. The help entry for it says:
If you have a tablet device attached, you can enable it and set its
pressure sensitivity in this section.
You need to activate the tablet devices you want to use with chalk.
There are three supported devices: the cursor, the eraser and the stylus. You can activate them using the tablet sections [...]
So if you wish you could look on the source code for Chalk for a start (https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/koffice/src/branch/master/ch...).
As for Windows support, I think there is none at the moment (it is probably beyond Trinity project aims, too). Qt3 (of which TQt is a fork) supported Windows as a paid option. But this doesn't mean that it would be impossible to port TQt to Windows — just that nobody is interested in such a port yet.
