The DataMouseSensor plug-in receives mouse events and keyboard events from Viz and stores the events in special DataPool variables.
Once the events are stored in DataPool variables, this information is accessible to other DataPool plug-ins.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Scene plug-ins -> Data
Information: DataPool plug-ins only work properly on a single channel on the same machine.
The variables that it creates are:
MPOS: Returns the mouse position when a button is clicked. If a button is pressed while moving the cursor MPOS updates dynamically. When the button is released the mouse position value is stored in MPOS. The position is displayed in X Y values.
MBUT: Returns the number of the last clicked mouse button (
1=left), whether the button is currently pressed or released, and the X Y values like in MPOS.MSELCONT: Returns the ID of the selected container.
KEY: Returns the ASCII code of the last pressed key on the keyboard and whether it is currently pressed (pressed=
1, released=0).
Note: Not all keyboard buttons are displayed when using the KEY variable.
MONOFF: Indicates whether a mouse button is currently clicked or released.
MBUTTON: Returns the number of the last clicked mouse button.
1=left button,2=center button,3=right button.
The DataMouseSensor is a scene plug-in and it should be used in scenes that use mouse/keyboard DataPool plug-ins.
The DataMouseSensor plug-in has no parameters.
