Locate and understand the configuration file
| Configuration | Configure your input devices |
Location of config file
Your configuration file is located in a platform dependant directory:
- Linux and OSX:
~/.pymt/config - Windows:
...\Documents and Settings\.pymt\config
If you don't see the directory, check if you can see hidden files
Simple configuration
A PyMT GUI configuration tool is available by issuing the following command from the command line :
python -m pymt.tools.config -n
The tool is not designed to handle all the input providers. This means you can't really configure your input devices except TUIO. If you are trying to use wm_touch, wm_pen, or custom inputs, please refer to the supplemental and subtly more advanced (but not at really difficult) inputs configuration documentation.
Below we give a list of all available configuration tokens and their values and meaning.
