Andres,
I have tried a dozen ways to implement a "glasspane" over the last few
days.
All attempts have been unsuccessful.
I don't know what is wrong. I don't know what else to try.
In my svg file, I added this rectangle:
<g id="top">
<g transform="translate(50,30)" style="fill:none; mouseevents:fill">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="400" style="stroke:none;" height="400" />
</g>
In my (Java) code, I register eventlisteners with the this "top" element:
public void registerRootListener() {
Element elt = theDocument.getElementById("top");
if (elt!= null){
EventTarget t = (EventTarget)elt;
try{
// Add mouse event listeners
t.addEventListener("click", new OnRootClickAction(),
false);
t.addEventListener("mouseenter", new
OnRootMouseEnterAction(),false);
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception in registerRootListener()");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}else{
System.out.println("registerRootListener FAILED");
}
}
public class OnRootClickAction implements EventListener {
public void handleEvent(Event evt) {
System.out.println("ROOT Click ACTION.");
}
}
public class OnRootMouseEnterAction implements EventListener {
public void handleEvent(Event evt) {
System.out.println("ROOT MouseEnter ACTION.");
}
}

Re: Detect "whitespace" click on
Please respond to JSVGCanvas?

In this case, you should add a "Glasspane" object as your background
and attach a mouseclick listener to it.
Since your "Rectangle Elements" will be on top of this "Background
glasspane (fill:none, mouseevents:fill)" the mouse event only applies
to the topmost visible element.
So your Background will react only if the click is over it, and it will
not react if the click is over any other element. I use this approach
to provide a "De-select" option.
Andres.
