Anyway to Get MousePos outside the Frame ?!

alless0

Hi , I'm trying to get absolute mouseX,Y of screen based on user's desktop Resolution . because mouseX,Y are limited to processing's output Frame . is there a way to get that absolute X,Y positions ?!

akiersky

using the awt library it's possible:

import java.awt.*;

void setup () {

}
void draw () {
PointerInfo a = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo();
Point b  = a.getLocation();
int x = (int)b.getX();
int y = (int)b.getY();
println(x + " : " + y);
}

hope this helps!

Fantastic @akiersky ! Just a slightly tweaked version of mine: :D

import java.awt.MouseInfo;
import java.awt.Point;

void draw () {
  final Point m  = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
  print(m.x + " : " + m.y + "\t");
}
