i4oled is a simple helper for setting and rendering OLED icons on Intuos4 family tablets. It uses cairo/pango library to render text and some 'logic' to split text nicely if it's too long to fit in one line. The main goal of the project it to develop solutions (splitting text, rendering, png handling, OLED preparing/writing) that can be used to implement proped OLED handling in gnome, but it's also a fully independent command line tool. i4oled accepts text, PNG images or base64 encoded string as input. It can set the OLED icon directly on tablet, create PNG image or base64 string for later use. Expected PNG format is: PNG image file, has to be 64 x 32, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced See 'icons' directory for some examples. Base64 string is used internally by gnome, so strings generated by i4oled can be used as described here: http://blog.firszt.eu/index.php?post/2014/02/17/How-to-change-OLED-label-on-Intuos4-tablets-on-gnome Typical usage: Render text "Ctrl+Alt A" and set OLED icon on Button0: i4oled --text "Ctrl+Alt A" --device /sys/bus/usb/drivers/wacom/[Dev #]/wacom_led/button0_rawimg Set OLED icon using existing PNG file: i4oled --image icons/play.png --device /sys/bus/usb/drivers/wacom/[Dev #]/wacom_led/button0_rawimg Render text to PNG file: i4oled --text "Shift-Meta-X" --output Shift-Meta-X.png IMPORTANT NOTE No.1! Make sure OLED brightness is set for the tablet, otherwise icons will remain invisible! (black on black). It can be done i.e. in this way: echo 200 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/wacom/[Dev #]/wacom_led/buttons_luminance Enjoy!
