+ * @Short_description: Pad device interface
+ * @Title: GtkDevicePad
+ *
+ * #GdkDevicePad is an interface implemented by devices of type
+ * %GDK_SOURCE_TABLET_PAD, it allows querying the features provided
+ * by the pad device.
+ *
+ * Tablet pads may contain one or more groups, each containing a subset
+ * of the buttons/rings/strips available. gdk_device_pad_get_n_groups()
+ * can be used to obtain the number of groups, gdk_device_pad_get_n_features()
+ * and gdk_device_pad_get_feature_group() can be combined to find out the
+ * number of buttons/rings/strips the device has, and how are they grouped.
+ *
+ * Each of those groups have different modes, which may be used to map
+ * each individual pad feature to multiple actions. Only one mode is
+ * effective (current) for each given group, different groups may have
+ * different current modes. The number of available modes in a group can
+ * be found out through gdk_device_pad_get_group_n_modes(), and the current
+ * mode for a given group will be notified through the #GdkEventPadGroupMode
+ * event.
