tracking-pointer [Macro]
Arguments: (
&optional
stream
&key
pointer multiple-window transformp context-type highlight)
&body
body
Summary: The tracking-pointer macro provides a general means for running code while following the position of a pointing device and monitoring for other input events. The programmer supplies code (the clauses in body ) to be run upon the occurrence of any of the following types of events:
Motion of the pointer over a presentation
Clicking or releasing a pointer button
Clicking or releasing a pointer button while the pointer is over a presentation
Keyboard event (typing a character)
The stream argument is not evaluated, and must be a symbol that is bound to an input sheet or stream. If stream is t , *standard-output* is used. body may have zero or more declarations as its first forms.
The pointer argument specifies a pointer to track. It defaults to the primary pointer for the sheet, ( port-pointer stream ).
When multiple-window is t , the pointer will be tracked across multiple windows; when nil , it will be tracked only in the window corresponding to stream .
When the boolean transformp is t , then the coordinates supplied to the :pointer-motion clause will be in the "user" coordinate system rather than in stream coordinates; that is, the medium's transformation will be applied to the coordinates.
context-type is used to specify the presentation type of presentations that will be "visible" to the tracking code for purposes of highlighting and for the :presentation , :presentation-button-press , and :presentation-button-release clauses. Supplying context-type is only useful when sheet is an output recording stream. context-type defaults to t , meaning that all presentations are visible.
When highlight is t , tracking-pointer will highlight applicable presentations as the pointer is positioned over them. highlight defaults to t when any of the :presentation , :presentation-button-press , or :presentation-button-release clauses is supplied; otherwise, it defaults to nil .
The body of tracking-pointer consists of a list of clauses. Each clause is of the form (clause-keyword arglist . clause-body) and defines a local function to be run upon occurrence of each type of event. The possible values for clause-keyword and the associated arglist are:
:pointer-motion
(
&key
window x y)
Defines a clause to run whenever the pointer moves. In the clause,
window
is bound to the window in which the motion occurred, and
x
and
y
to the coordinates of the pointer. (See the keyword argument
:transformp
for a description of the coordinate system in which
x
and
y
are expressed.)
:presentation
(
&key
presentation window x y)
Defines a clause to run whenever the pointer moves over a presentation of the desired type. (See the keyword argument
:context-type
for a description of how to specify the desired type.) In the clause,
presentation
is bound to the presentation,
window
to the window in which the motion occurred, and
x
and
y
to the coordinates of the pointer. (See the keyword argument
:transformp
for a description of the coordinate system in which
x
and
y
are expressed.)
When both :presentation and :pointer-motion clauses are provided, the two are mutually exclusive. The :presentation clause will run only if the pointer is over an applicable presentation; otherwise the :pointer-motion clause will run.
:pointer-button-press
(
&key
event x y)
Defines a clause to run whenever a pointer button is pressed. In the clause,
event
is bound to the pointer button press event. (The window and the coordinates of the pointer are part of
event
.)
x and y are the transformed x and y positions of the pointer. These will be different from pointer-event-x and pointer-event-y if the user transformation is not the identity transformation.
:presentation-button-press
(
&key
presentation event x y)
Defines a clause to run whenever the pointer button is pressed while the pointer is over a presentation of the desired type. (See the keyword argument
:context-type
for a description of how to specify the desired type.) In the clause,
presentation
is bound to the presentation, and
event
to the pointer button press event. (The window and the stream coordinates of the pointer are part of
event
.)
x
and
y
are as for the
:pointer-button-press
clause.
When both :presentation-button-press and :pointer-button-press clauses are provided, the two clauses are mutually exclusive. The :presentation-button-press clause will run only if the pointer is over an applicable presentation; otherwise, the :pointer-button-press clause will run.
:pointer-button-release
(
&key
event x y)
Defines a clause to run whenever a pointer button is released. In the clause,
event
is bound to the pointer button release event. (The window and the coordinates of the pointer are part of
event
.)
x and y are the transformed x and y positions of the pointer. These will be different from pointer-event-x and pointer-event-y if the user transformation is not the identity transformation.
:presentation-button-release
(
&key
presentation event x y)
Defines a clause to run whenever a pointer button is released while the pointer is over a presentation of the desired type. (See the keyword argument
:context-type
for a description of how to specify the desired type.) In the clause,
presentation
is bound to the presentation, and
event
to the pointer button release event. (The window and the stream coordinates of the pointer are part of
event
.)
x
and
y
are as for the
:pointer-button-release
clause.
When both :presentation-button-release and :pointer-button-release clauses are provided, the two clauses are mutually exclusive. The :presentation-button-release clause will run only if the pointer is over an applicable presentation; otherwise, the :pointer-button-release clause will run.
:keyboard
(
&key
gesture)
Defines a clause to run whenever a character is typed on the keyboard. In the clause,
gesture
is bound to the keyboard gesture corresponding to the character typed.
Here is an example of tracking-pointer :

(y1 0)
(x2 0);; x2,y2 represents the point that is changing
(y2 0)
(mouse-button-press nil);; set to T when mouse button has

(when mouse-button-press
;;erase
(draw-rectangle* stream x1 y1 x2 y2
:ink +flipping-ink+ :filled nil)
;; draw
(draw-rectangle* stream x1 y1 x y
:ink +flipping-ink+ :filled nil)
(setf x2 x y2 y)))
(:pointer-button-release (event x y )
(when mouse-button-press
(return (list x1 y1 x2 y2)))))))
(define-test-command (com-exit :menu "EXEUNT" :keystroke #-) ()
(frame-exit *application-frame*))
drag-output-record [Generic Function]
Arguments: stream output-record
&key
repaint multiple-window erase feedback finish-on-release
Summary: Enters an interaction mode in which the user moves the pointer and output-record "follows" the pointer by being dragged on the output recording stream stream . By default, the dragging is accomplished by erasing the output record from its previous position and redrawing at the new position. output-record remains in the output history of stream at its final position.
The returned values are the final x and y positions of the pointer, and the delta-x and delta-y position of the mouse with respect to the origin of the object at the time it was originally selected by the pointer.
The boolean repaint controls the appearance of the windows as the pointer is dragged. If repaint is t (the default), displayed contents of windows are not disturbed as the output record is dragged over them (that is, those regions of the screen are repainted). If it is nil , then no repainting is done as the output record is dragged.
erase identifies a function that will be called to erase the output record as it is dragged. It must be a function of two arguments, the output record to erase and the stream; it has dynamic extent. The default is erase-output-record .
feedback allows the programmer to identify a "feedback" function of seven arguments: the output record, the stream, the initial x and y position of the pointer, the current x and y position of the pointer, and a drawing argument (either :erase or :draw ). It has dynamic extent. The default is nil , meaning that the feedback behavior will be for the output record to track the pointer. (The feedback argument is used when the programmer desires more complex feedback behavior, such as drawing a "rubber band" line as the user moves the mouse.) Note that if feedback is supplied, erase is ignored.
If the boolean finish-on-release is nil (the default), drag-output-record is exited when the user presses a pointer button. When it is t , drag-output-record is exited when the user releases the pointer button currently being held down.
dragging-output [Macro]
Arguments: (
&optional
stream
&key
repaint multiple-window finish-on-release)
&body
body
Summary: This macro is used by functions that want to move output records in an interactive fashion in a CLIM window. The body of the macro invocation contains code to draw a CLIM graphic. The resulting graphic tracks mouse motion in the window until the mouse button is pressed (or released, depending on the options).
body is evaluated inside of with-output-to-output-record to produce an output record for the stream stream , and then invokes drag-output-record on the record in order to drag the output. The output record is not inserted into stream 's output history.
The returned values are the final x and y positions of the pointer, and the delta-x and delta-y position of the mouse with respect to the origin of the object at the time it was originally selected by the pointer.
The stream argument is not evaluated, and must be a symbol that is bound to an output recording stream stream. If stream is t (the default), *standard-output* is used. body may have zero or more declarations as its first forms.
repaint and finish-on-release are as for drag-output-record .
pointer-place-rubber-band-line*[Function]
Arguments:
&key
start-x start-y stream pointer multiple-window finish-on-release
Summary: This function is used to place a rubber-band line. The input is the end points of a rubber-band line on the stream stream (which defaults to *standard-input* ) via the pointer pointer .
If start-x and start-y are provided, the start point of the line is at ( start-x,start-y ). Otherwise, the start point of the line is selected by pressing a button on the pointer.
The pointer argument specifies a pointer from which to take input. It defaults to ( port-pointer stream ).
When the boolean multiple-window argument is t , input can be taken from a window other than the default window. However, input cannot be taken from more than one window at the same time. For instance, you cannot press the pointer button in one window to begin the line and release it in another window to indicate the end point of the line; the press and release must happen in the same window.
When the boolean finish-on-release is t , pointer-place-rubber-band-line* is exited when the user releases the pointer button currently being held down. When it is nil , pointer-place-rubber-band-line* is exited when the user presses a pointer button.
pointer-place-rubber-band-line* returns five values: the start X and Y of the line, the end X and Y of the line, and the window on which the line was drawn. The final value is useful only when multiple-window is t .
pointer-input-rectangle*[Function]
Arguments:
&key
left top right bottom stream pointer multiple-window finish-on-release
Summary: This function is used to input a rectangle via the pointer pointer . The input is the corners of a rectangle on the stream stream , which defaults to *standard-input* .
If left and top are provided, the upper left corner of the rectangle will be placed at ( left,top ). If right and bottom are provided, the lower right corner of the rectangle will be placed at ( right,bottom ). Otherwise, the upper left corner of the rectangle is selected by pressing a button on the pointer.
pointer , multiple-window , and finish-on-release are as for pointer-place-rubber-band-line* .
pointer-input-rectangle* returns five values: the left, top, right, and bottom corners of the rectangle, and the window on which the rectangle was drawn. The final value is useful only when multiple-window is true.
pointer-input-rectangle[Function]
Arguments:
&rest
options
&key
rectangle stream pointer multiple-window finish-on-release
&allow-other-keys
pointer-input-rectangle is exactly like pointer-input-rectangle* except that it takes as input and returns a rectangle object.
