NAME

       ts_read, ts_read_raw, ts_read_mt, ts_read_raw_mt - read tslib touch samples

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tslib.h>

       int ts_read(struct tsdev *dev, struct ts_sample *samp, int nr);

       int ts_read_raw(struct tsdev *dev, struct ts_sample *samp, int nr);

       int ts_read_mt(struct tsdev *dev, struct ts_sample_mt **samp, int slots, int nr);

       int ts_read_raw_mt(struct tsdev *dev, struct ts_sample_mt **samp, int slots, int nr);

DESCRIPTION

       ts_read() reads nr input samples with tslib's filters applied.  struct ts_sample is define
       as follows:
       struct ts_sample {
               int             x;
               int             y;
               unsigned int    pressure;
               struct timeval  tv;
       };

       ts_read_mt() reads nr  *  slots  input  samples  with  tslib's  filters  applied.   struct
       ts_sample_mt is defined as follows:
       struct ts_sample_mt {
               /* most recent ABS_MT_* event codes.
                * see linux/input.h for descriptions */
               int             x;
               int             y;
               unsigned int    pressure;
               int             slot;
               int             tracking_id;

               int             tool_type;
               int             tool_x;
               int             tool_y;
               unsigned int    touch_major;
               unsigned int    width_major;
               unsigned int    touch_minor;
               unsigned int    width_minor;
               int             orientation;
               int             distance;
               int             blob_id;

               struct timeval  tv;

               /* BTN_TOUCH state */
               short           pen_down;

               /* the TSLIB_MT_VALID bit is set in valid if this sample
                * contains new data;
             * valid is set to 0 otherwise */
               short           valid;
       };

       The user has to provide the amount of memory described in nr and slots to hold them.

       ts_read_raw() and ts_read_raw_mt() do the same thing without tslib's filters applied.

RETURN VALUE

       The  number  of  actually read samples is returned. Especially when opened in non-blocking
       mode, see ts_setup() , that can be less than requested in the call. On failure, a negative
       error number is returned.

EXAMPLE

       The  following  program  continuously reads tslib multitouch input samples and prints slot
       and position values to stdout as the touch screen is touched.

       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <fcntl.h>

       #include <tslib.h>

       #define READ_SAMPLES 1
       #define MAX_SLOTS 5

       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
               struct tsdev *ts;
               struct ts_sample_mt **samp_mt = NULL;
               int i, j;
               int ret;

               ts = ts_setup(NULL, 0);
               if (!ts)
                       return -1;

               samp_mt = malloc(READ_SAMPLES * sizeof(struct ts_sample_mt **));
               if (!samp_mt)
                       return -1;

               for (i = 0; i < READ_SAMPLES; i++) {
                       samp_mt[i] = calloc(MAX_SLOTS, sizeof(struct ts_sample_mt));
                       if (!samp_mt[i])
                               return -1;
               }

               while(1) {
                       ret = ts_read_mt(ts, samp_mt, MAX_SLOTS, READ_SAMPLES);
                       for (i = 0; i < ret; i++) {
                               printf("sample nr %d0, i);
                               for (j = 0; i < MAX_SLOTS; j++) {
                                       if (!(samp_mt[i][j].valid & TSLIB_MT_VALID))
                                               continue;

                                       printf("slot %d: X:%d Y: %d0,
                                              samp_mt[i][j].slot,
                                              samp_mt[i][j].x,
                                              samp_mt[i][j].y);
                               }
                       }
               }
       }
