Creating pen-aware applications

Windows

• WinTab - https://developer-support.wacom.com/hc/en-us/articles/12844524637975-Wintab This is the older but still heavily used API. Even though the API is defined by Wacom, other graphics tablet manufacturers use this same API.

• Windows Ink https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/input/ink-walkthrough This is the newer and much more sophisticated API.

MacOS

• I don't have any information on MacOS drawing tablet APIs.

Various tools and libraries

• PenInspector - https://github.com/borco/peninspector

• PenTracker by Patrick Lauke

• cgikit.wintab - As part of the Python Computer Graphics kit, the wintab module allows you to use Pyhon to get pen data via the WinTab interface.
