Pressure Measure Tool (Test your Wacom)

[Peter Wassink]

Its very simple,
This is an animbrush with 1024 steps that can help you visualise the pressure info that TVP receives from your tablet.

Before use, set up a project with a minimal height of 1024 pixels
best also set the grid to get a decent graph. (see image)

very nice ! Thanks for sharing it =D

good idea !

So we should be able to compare intuos 3 and 4.

indeed! thats why i dusted off this old idea of mine.
i did consider making a 2048 frame version, but i don't have an Intuos4 yet so maybe later

by the way i noticed (and you can also see it in the image, most notably in the yellow part)
that the pressure level sometimes seems to get stuck around one value.
Is this a problem on the wacom side or could it be that sometimes TVP lags in processing the pressure values?

Yes, this is fun. Thanks.

i just created a 2048 step version, that is able to display the full pressure resolution of the new Wacom Intuos 4 series
its basicly a 2048 frame animbrush of 1X2048 pixels,
it works fine, and i 'd happily share it here
the only problem: the tvpx file is 20Mb (!?) no idea why, the strange thing is the TVPP project from where i took the brush is only just over 3Mb

technical stuff, too complicated to explain. (but I confirm it's normal)
