Is there an external or internal library that will give me access to the cursor (like a Wacom tablet)? Thanks in advance, --thesprucegoose

Re: Using Processing to control Mouse? Reply #1 - Aug 22nd, 2009, 1:22am   You can use Robot() to control the mouse cursor. Code: robot Robot;  try {     robot = new Robot();     robot.mouseMove(x,y);  }    catch (Exception e) {    println("Can't Initialize the Robot");  } If you want to use mouse buttons you can use statements with these commands: Left button Code: robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); Right button Code: robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK); robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK);
