Rotating a drawing tablet
For various reasons you may want to rotate your tablet to use it in a different orientation.
Most drawing tablets support these rotations:
Some support all four orientations
Some only support two orientations
Some support only a single orientation
Summary of steps
Configure the driver app to perform the rotation
If you have a pen display
ensure you are extending the desktop to the pen display, not duplicating it
In the system's display settings, rotate the the the desktop on the pen display
Physically rotate the tablet
You can perform these steps in any order.
Notes for pen displays
If you have a monitor and a pen display, your desktop is either:
duplicated/mirrored across both (both show the exact same thing)
or extended across them (they show different things)
If you want to rotate your table, then you have to use the extended setting. You can certainly choose the duplicated/mirrored setting - but it will not give you the behavior that you want.
