-- This is an example libinput plugin
--
-- This plugin controls a mouse/pointer from a tablet device. This
-- effectively hides stylus interactions and sends pointer events
-- instead. In other words: mouse emulation for tablets, implemented
-- by (remote) controlling a mouse device. This allows using a
-- tablet stylus as a mouse replacement without tablet limitations
-- from compositors or clients. Note that axis usually needed for
-- drawing (like pressure, tilt or distance) are no longer emitted
-- when this plugin is active and a mouse is connected. When no
-- mouse is connected, this plugin doesn't change tablet events,
-- thus the stylus works like a normal stylus.
