What is the name of the device that allows you to put your own handwriting onto a graphics area of the screen of your own computer ?
i.e., You take a stylus of some sort and press it against a screen like an Android tablet or something, and then there on your desktop computer screen, you see a reproduction of your own handwriting
Now that I think of it, I could probably bet that somebody probably has already written an app that will do exactly that on an Android tablet and connect with a USB cable and put it on the desktop computer screen.
But
That's just me guessing.
What I don't know is the name of the stuff, the nomenclature, who makes it, and the biggie: How to search for it and look for it on the internet or Google Play Store or whatever.
I will give a 1973 Corvette Stingray to anyone who can tell me where to find this kind of stuff.

This kind of thing?

I think they were just called tablets before the Android variety appeared.
Wacom is the only brand I've heard of.

Adding to what Indivara says, 'Wacom' is definitely the keyword.
I had a no-name drawing tablet with stylus years ago, USB interface. Software always reported it as Wacom.
My current laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5, a convertible. (Turn it inside out and it becomes a tablet.)
It has a stylus which works in PC or tablet mode, again identified as Wacom.

I always knew them as "graphics tablets", and that's certainly what the worlds biggest manufacturer of them (Wacom) called them - now it refers to them as "pen tablets" which makes a lot more sense.
Mine is pressure sensitive as well and you could program that in most graphics apps to control stroke width, colour density, or whatever you wanted. (It's still connected to my PC, but I haven't used it in a decade, I think.)

I'm not quite sure where this fits, but remember that when Microsoft's Surface originally came out, they were heavily promoting its so-called "ink" capability as a big thing, as in, the display surface of the device itself doubled as a place for you to draw on directly.

Hello Developer Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently facing a challenge in my current project, and I would appreciate your knowledge and expertise to help me overcome it.
Problem Description:
I have developed an online application using CodeIgniter, PHP 8.x, and MySQL 8.x / MySQL 5.x. I am currently working on automating the print button. My goal is to allow users of the application to fill in all necessary information and initiate printing with a single click on the "PRINT" button. However, I am unsure of the best approach to achieve this.
Technologies Used:
- CodeIgniter
- PHP 8.x
- MySQL 8.x / MySQL 5.x
My Request:
If anyone has previously worked on a similar feature or has in-depth knowledge of automating printing with CodeIgniter and PHP, I would be grateful for any advice, code examples, or relevant resources that could help me overcome this challenge.
Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance. Please feel free to reach out if additional details are required.
Best Regards,
|

Wrong forum, You want the General Programming-> WebDevelopment->MySql, PHP forum.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

People are still using CodeIgniter?

Yes, you can have a static variable in a named function in JavaScript/TypeScript. Even peeps on SO say the only way to achieve this is with a class. Nope.
Exhibit A:
function datNice(): number {
const self = datNice as any;
const meSoStatic = self.meSoStatic ? self.meSoStatic : 42;
self.meSoStatic = meSoStatic;
return meSoStatic;
}
console.log(datNice());
console.log(datNice());
Note: You used to able to pull this off with an anonymous function using arguments.callee, but that's since been deprecated, due to misuse or the confusion around this I can only assume. But, named functions still work perfectly.

So essentially, you've extended the function with a static variable? If I understand this correctly?
|
|
|
|

Yup. In functional languages, functions are first-class citizens. Which is just a fancy way of saying they can be treated like any other data type. They have a this and are also self referential.

Oh, about the syntax error thingy... it's TypeScript. There's a cool site, kinda like jsfiddle, if you just wanna quickly play around with example code for TS: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play. Or jsfiddle works if you select the TS language.

To my mind, this is really an instance variable on a global function.
Since all code will use the same instance of the global function, all code will reuse its single instance variable.

It is all frowned upon just because some "clever beaver" on Google stated so, like sheep, lets follow the rest... I agree 300%, all si possible, how did we get to the "clever" parts, because we used to use 'THIS' first and then tried to make it into rocket science. Blows my mind why we would consistently keep on making things difficult, 1+1=2 point, why try to do 0.8+1.2=2, my 5 cents and upvote!

JS is like mummyScript... it's made of bandages that will never fix the inherent problem of being dead at the core.

why is this even relevant in code?

Because sometimes you want persistence without cluttering up the global/module namespace. Makes it pretty easy where to track down what in a larger project. Should it be overdone? Nope. But that goes with anything.
