Hello,
I search possibility to check the two axis X and Y for mouseWheel but I d'on't find solution with getWheelRotation().


Have you an idea ?

Thx

I don't think horizontal is possible. In fact, googling it return very unpromising results. An alternative - also for cross-system/hardware compatibility - could be to use mouseWheel plus a pressed key. Then regular mouseWheel is vertical and SHIFT + mouseWheel is horizontal. See the following example...

Code Example

1. import java.awt.event.*;
2. boolean shiftOn;
3. int x, y;
4.  
5. void setup() {
6.   size(600, 600);
7.   smooth();
8.   fill(0);
9.   addMouseWheelListener(new MouseWheelListener() {
10.     public void mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent mwe) {
11.       mouseWheel(mwe.getWheelRotation());
12.   }});
13. }
14.  
15. void keyPressed() {
16.   if (keyCode == SHIFT) { shiftOn = true; }
17. }
18.  
19. void keyReleased() {
20.   if (keyCode == SHIFT) { shiftOn = false; }
21. }
22.  
23. void mouseWheel(int delta) {
24.   if (shiftOn) {
25.     x -= delta*5;
26.   } else {
27.     y += delta*5;
28.   }
29. }
30.  
31. void draw() {
32.   background(255);
33.   translate(x, y);
34.   ellipse(width/2, height/2, 200, 200);
35. }
