Class InputEventHandler

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Thread
      ch.claudio.pen.InputEventHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class InputEventHandler
extends java.lang.Thread

Read data from a linux event input device and translate them to mouse events.

The input device delivers separate events for X and Y changes, but accompanies them with a time stamp. This allows to combine them.

For this to work an extra thread is necessary, as unfortunately Java does not allow to select on FileChannels.
