Configuring Wacom Tablet in Ubuntu 16.04 for Large Monitors
This morning, I needed to sign a document for work. I hate the process of printing something out, signing it, scanning it, and mailing it back.So I busted out my Wacom Tablet and plugged it into my Linux box and, lo, it recognized it!
The problem, though, was that writing in my typical lettering (maybe about 1/4 inch height on paper) was coming out 4-5 times that size on the screen, making adding my signature to the form impractical.
Long story short, I wasn't able to find a setting to change the pen distance -> mouse distance ratio, but I did find that if I increased the available area that the pen was mapped to, then it did the trick.
So, here is what I did:
> xsetwacom --list devices
Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen stylus id: 11 type: STYLUS
Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen eraser id: 18 type: ERASER
Wacom Bamboo Connect Pad pad id: 20 type: PAD
> xsetwacom --get 11 Area
Option "Area" "0 0 14720 9200"
> xsetwacom --set 11 Area "0 0 73600 46000"
At that point, the text looked great!
