To receive pen input, call Fl::Pen::subscribe() for one or more widgets. The widget will receive a Fl::Pen::ENTER event when the stylus enters the widget area. By returning 1 to Fl::Pen::ENTER, all further pen events are sent to this widget, and no mouse events are generated until Fl::Pen::LEAVE. Returning 0 Fl::Pen::ENTER tells FLTK to suppress further pen events until Fl::Pen::LEAVE, and convert them into mouse events instead. Pen events also set Fl::event_x(), Fl::event_y(), Fl::event_x_root(), Fl::event_y_root(), Fl::event_is_click(), and Fl::event_clicks(). @{ */ /** \brief Bitfield of traits.
