Mouse Pressure Plotter

Used to visualize the movement and pressure of trackpad events captured using libinput record

Usage

first, record some output using libinput:

$ libinput record /dev/input/event15 > data

replace the device path with whatever your trackpad is assigned. Then input your test movements and stop recording with crtrl-c.

Now run the script:

./mouse_data_parser.py data

it should generate a 3d plot that shows the trajectory and pressure recorded for the trackpad during the test input.

Requirements

• A sane linux installation
• Python 3
• libinput
• numpy
• pandas
• sympy (not actually used but could allow for some interesting analysis)
• matplotlib (pyplot)
• mpl_toolkits (mplot3d)
