Thus we need a 'calligraphic input' button (maybe with a stylus pen icon) which toggles between pressure sensitivity plus maximum line width - and no pressure sensitivity plus the line width you choose in your tools menu.

Also, when shape recognitions intervenes, lines get the width set in the menu. So it could be nice to be able to separately choose the width of shape lines, so that you could simultaneously scribble text in calligraphy, with pressure sensitivity, and draw lines and circles with thin lines.
Next packages will bear the very same version for now.
I'll increase the version as soon as they are on the extras repository.

Thanks alot Anidel. It was worth the wait.
The shape recognition thing is something that was on my wishlist for quite some time. Is there a setting somewhere to make it sloppier in its recognition? Apparently I am messier than even Xournal is willing to straighten out.
I hope that it gets extended to allow some post-draw editing of the resulting shapes (drag the diameter/centerpoint of circle or ovalize them, change the vertices of polygons, move endpoints of lines, etc.). What would be cool is if you could annotate the shapes like you would in 3rd grade geometry (little boxes on right angles, similar number of cross hatches on lines to indicate similar length, similar numbers of arcs between lines to indicate similar angles, etc).

Thanks mwiktowy, but you should address those request to the Xournal author, not the porter

EDIT: Does the pdf exporting still work even when the ghostscript package is removed?

ghostscript has been replaced by poppler-utils that provides the PDF functionalities Xournal needs.
ghostscript is not needed anymore by Xournal.

I don't know if I made myself clear yesterday, but what I meant is that you can rescale the raw pressure data from the tablet by multiplying it by a factor and possibly adding a shift such that an actual pressure of 0.5 for example will appear to the program as 0.9, and 0.3 will appear as 0.1 so you will have much stronger variations of the line width. Using if statements you can prevent the effective pressure to go over the top i.e if it is greater than 1 you set it to 1 and if less than 0 set it to 0. I don't know how this is implemented in the program so i don't know if this is feasible or not. Thank you for your very important contributions.

I can also happily report that this version of Xournal installs just fine along side gnumeric without the old libart issues. Double thanks for that, anidel.
Is the port of Abiword available somewhere yet? Xournal + Gnumeric + Abiword would be a office document editing/creation trifecta that dovetail functionality quite nicely with one another.

So it should already work the way it is intended in Xournal.
Does someone have a Linux machine with such a pressure device available so that he can test Xournal on that machine and report back ?

Hi guys,
I have updated the xournal package.
I have fixed the offset bug when XInput is activated.
XInput is always activated on the port, thus I removed the menu options.
I left the "pressure sensitivity" option for obvious reasons.
It's still enabled by default, but you can deselect it and save the preferences.
I also left the thickness to its default MEDIUM level.
Enjoy.
