Re: [PD] Mouse data without Xorg boundaries
Yeah, I left out that I also opened the help patch, and the deltas were still being output when the mouse pointer hit the edge of the screen in x. -Jonathan > > From: Tyler Leavitt >To: Jonathan Wilkes >Cc: pd-list >Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 3:52 PM >Subject: Re: [PD] Mouse data without Xorg boundaries > > >Jonathan, > > >Heh... well I did mention in my post that I tried that already and it didn't >do what I wanted it to.

Re: [PD] Mouse data without Xorg boundaries
Jonathan, Heh... well I did mention in my post that I tried that already and it didn't do what I wanted it to. But then I tried it again at your urging and voila! For some reason I missed that my first try.

Re: [PD] Mouse data without Xorg boundaries
Hi Tyler, I used my search plugin to search for objects tagged with the "user_input" keyword and found: cyclone/MouseState report mouse x/y/deltax/y and buttonpress Keywords: control max_compatible user_input Since it gives you delta x/y I think it will solve your problem. -Jonathan > > From: Tyler Leavitt >To: pd-list >Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 12:19 PM >Subject: [PD] Mouse data without Xorg boundaries > > >Hello list, > > >Not sure if the title explains it concisely enough, but I'm looking to get >mouse data without the screen limits of X.
