    Proprietary Driver Area Conversions

    This can be performed from the UI or calculated manually.

    OpenTabletDriver UI

    1. Right click the tablet area editor
    2. Click the convert item menu item
    3. Select the OEM driver and insert your area values

    Manual Area Conversion

    Check the configuration file for your tablet here or within the driver for properly calculated digitizer dimensions in millimeters.

    Note: Huion and Gaomon areas use a "percentage area", which uses a percentage of the tablet's maximum area to calculate the area.
    You must know your tablet's digitizer dimensions in millimeters in order to properly convert these areas.
    This is automatically handled in the UI, for the best results it is recommended to use it for converting from these proprietary drivers.
