genre	`InventorMain`
author	`Christian Schumann`
package	`FMEstable/ReleaseMeVis`
dll	`SoMouseCursor`
definition	SoShowMousePosition.def
keywords	`highlight`, `test`, `debug`

Purpose¶

Shows the mouse cursor position in an inventor viewer using a simple square independent of the window’s cursor drawing. The color of the square indicates if a button is pressed.

Usage¶

Connect to the viewer as any other inventor node.

Details¶

The position is only shown in the viewer the interaction occurred in. However, all connected viewers are redrawn on moving the mouse. That is because the handle event action leads to an update of the field position, which triggers a redraw on all connected viewers! Hence, this module is not thought to be used in applications. It’s main purpose is to show the cursor in remote and offscreen renderings during testing.
