The RISC OS Graphics Pen Tablet
A graphics pen tablet controls the pointer like the mouse does, but for
some uses like freehand drawing and painting the pen, or stylus, is a
natural and intuitive way of interacting with the graphics software.
Paint, which has come free with every version of RISC OS, is an example.
Once you try our tablet you probably won't want to go back to using the
mouse!
Two sizes of tablet are available with bundled RISC OS software. Along
with the hardware you get a printed manual giving hints and tips on using
the tablet with standard RISC OS desktop applications and a guide to the included art app called OmbrArt.
Introductory prices start at just GBP30.00 + P&P worldwide.
System requirements: the product has been tested with a number of
computers running RISC OS 5.27 including the Raspberry Pi series of
machines and the Pinebook. Compatibility with other configurations and versions/configurations of RISC OS is not guaranteed (but will probably
work).
Bundled software - !OmbrArt
In an artistic sense 'Ombre' just means colours that merge into each
other. OmbrArt is similar in some ways to Paint but with advantages for
the artist. The initial colour and the colour the brush merges into can be chosen from a palette of vivid shades with a single touch of the stylus.
Among other features the brush shape and rotation can be quickly altered
and pictures can be imported and exported as standard RISC OS sprties.
