mouse rollover event in Python (VPython)

Is there something similar to scene.mouse.getclick in the visual module (VPython)? I need it for a rollover. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I need a function for doing something when the mouse moves inside a special area without clicking.

Solution

  • As mentioned by mathmike, it would seem that you could use scene.mouse.pick to get the object that is currently under the mouse, and as for the 'scene-position', I think scene.mouse.pickpos is what you're looking for - if not, you should be able to calculate it from the global mouse position (through getEvent()).

    Otherwise, look at getting your information from the getEvent() function, and possibly writing an event loop for yourself.
