Object Creation
To create a pointcalibration object, first load the brightsign/pointercalibration module using the require() method. Then create an instance of the pointcalibration class.
var pointerCalibrationClass = require("@brightsign/pointercalibration");
var pointerCalibration = new pointerCalibrationClass();
PointerCalibration
startCalibration()
Promise<void> startCalibration()
Begins touchscreen calibration. This method may fail if no suitable devices are present.
getCalibrationStatus()
Promise<int> getCalibrationStatus()
Returns the current touchscreen calibration status as an integer. This method may fail if no suitable devices are present. The following are possible return values:
- 0: Calibrating the top-left point
- 1: Calibrating the top-right point
- 2: Calibrating the bottom-right point
- 100: Calibration complete
setCalibrationRanges()
Promise<void> setCalibrationRanges(int XMin, int XMax, int YMin, int YMax)
Overrides the screen range values provided by the touchscreen. This method is useful when the entirety of the video output is not being displayed on the touch surface. Practical use of this method usually requires a custom calibration script, appropriate images, and a calibration setting matched to a particular setup.
clearStoredCalibration()
Promise<bool> clearStoredCalibration()
Clears the stored calibration setting for a touch screen. This method may fail if no suitable devices are present.
isCalibrated()
Promise<bool> isCalibrated()
Returns true if calbration data is present in system software.
getDiagnosticInfoHTML()
Promise<DOMString> getDiagnosticInfoHTML(bool deviceInfo, bool events)
Returns touch-screen diagnostics. If deviceInfo is true, this method will return hardware and kernel-configuration information; if events is true, this method will return a log of events (the event log is then deleted up to that point).
startEventLogging()
Promise<void> startEventLogging()
Begins logging for touchscreen events.
stopEventLogging()
Promise<void> stopEventLogging()
Stops logging for touchscreen events.
