Description Jakub Steiner 2013-04-15 19:24:53 UTC 
During one of the workshops in LGM, it was demonstrated that non-screen pen tablets are useless to digital painters unless the aspect ratio of the screen is mapped to the tablet area to get accurate proportions when drawing (circle becomes an ellipse). 

I don't currently have but a screen tablet, so I can't test, but I believe we don't currently have a mean to set this up in the current panel. I would expect this to be found in the screen mapping ­— https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/system-settings/tablets/graphic-tablets.png

The options would be:

Keep display aspect ratio
Use full tablet area

In future, when we have the ability to map a combined display area, the word 'display' would be replaced with 'area' when defined.
Comment 1 Joaquim Rocha 2013-04-29 13:53:15 UTC 
A quick note to say that we do have a switch to keep aspect ration in the display mapping options so this issue is only related to implementing the new UI.
Comment 2 Joaquim Rocha 2013-07-03 09:12:41 UTC 
It seems that the display-choosing design for the tablets is different than the new one for the very displays panel:
https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/system-settings/displays/displays-v2.png

Besides being different, last time I talked to aday, he said he didn't like the idea of having live screenshots.

I believe we should have a coherent way of choosing the displays so that means the mockups for that purpose on the tablets' side are no longer good.

It seems that a new UI was implemented for mapping a tablet to a display now? In Gnome 3.12 I see a map to output and keep aspect ratio setting, which I think solves this issue?
Comment 4 Jakub Steiner 2014-09-25 20:00:33 UTC 
Yea, what we have is good enough. Thanks for the poke.
