Hello,

I would like some guidance on whether the following idea makes sense to do
as a fvwm module.

1. I own a simple drawing tablet, that I typically position in portrait
orientation right next to my keyboard.
2. The rectangle of the drawing tablet maps to a rectangular area of my
(landscape) screen through xinput.
3. I would like to define fvwm keystrokes that can change the mapped area
(by invoking "xinput set-prop"). I.e. to move and zoom the drawing area on
the screen.
4. Similar to the fvwm pager, I would like to have a visual indication of
what area of the screen the drawing tablet currently maps to.

Here are some simple visualizations sketches that show what  I would like
to have for the "tablet mapping display":

My question is especially if it makes sense to write 4 as a fvwm module?
What's  a good starting point? Also, once I have a written a module, how
would I send it messages to update the visually shown rectangle mapping?

Thanks in advance!
