This command is used to set the rotation of a Wacom tablet device.

  • xsetwacom is the command line tool used to interact with Wacom devices in Linux.
  • set is the action to be performed on the device.
  • "${device_name}" is a variable representing the name of the Wacom device. The variable should be substituted with the actual device name in order to execute the command correctly.
  • Rotate is the property to be set, specifying the rotation of the device.
  • ${select} is another variable representing the desired rotation value. It should be substituted with a valid rotation value such as 'none', 'half', 'ccw' (counterclockwise), or 'cw' (clockwise).

When executed, this command will set the rotation property of the Wacom device specified by device_name to the value indicated by select.
