Mouse position change
« on: June 26, 2011, 11:00:24 AM »
Hello again,

I did a search but it seems that this topic hasn't been explained in great details and I apologize if it has already.
Basically when mouseMoved function kicks in, there is a change of how many units the mouse has moved.
Now if I try to debug the mouse state, there are a bunch of X/Y/Z.abs and .rel values. I know Z signifies the scroll, X should be horizontal and Y for vertical movements.
I don't exactly understand what the abs and rel mean. Also, an example would greatly help.

Abs is the current cumulative value of the axis (ie the current value of x/y and z). Relative is the change since the last capture call (+/- value of axis). Every call to capture clears the last relative value, whereas the abs[solute] value is a running total that goes up/down based on the last relative changes.
