SVG and mousover
Apr 8th, 2009, 10:13am  
Hey all,

I am working with a SVG map in a sketch, and I wanted to be able to have some things happen if users either mouseover or clicked on different parts of the map.  But the PShape library doesn't seem to have any methods for accessing the x and y locations of the elements, so I might be out of luck on this.  With the map that I have, each element is labeled and each country is it's own element, so in theory I could have something unique happen, but I can't find a way to access where that element is in the sketch, outside of the draw area, which is the same for all of the elements.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

I use the geomerative library to do this (be aware that it's not  up-to-date with the latest Processing, and not even the examples provided are up-to-date with the library Wink - so you'll have to tweak some of the provided example/tutorial sketches to make them execute without errors).

look at the 'tutorial_23_contains' sketch.

Hi,

i am actually doing quite the same : using a svg map under processing.

I first gave a try to native SVG support and have some problems with size and positionning of my SVG map (see : processing.org/discourse/yabb2/num_1239903063_posted_yesterday__.html
Did you experience such problems

I will give a try to geomerative (Already used it to vector text animation).

Paul
