Class MouseGestureRecognizer

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.input.mouse.MouseGestureRecognizer
All Implemented Interfaces:
AutoCloseable

public final class MouseGestureRecognizer extends Object implements AutoCloseable
This class generates high-level mouse gesture events from low-level input events.

High level events are subclasses of IInputEvent such as MouseClickEvent. Low levels are used to create those high level events and are dropped afterwards.

For example, a mouse pressed + (possibly multiple) mouse moved + a mouse released sequence is recognized as a drag gesture. A mouse pressed + a mouse released sequence is recognized as a click gesture. This class is useful when adding integration with a platform that does not provide these more high-level events.

A typical use of such a class is to wire it to a UI framework specific class (such as Qt , see QQuickMapObject in the sample code) and make the controller react to the high level event instead of every low level event the framework can fire.

The use of the MouseGestureRecognizer is optional. Events containing MouseButton#unknown() as the mouse button are not processed. A controller implementation can use custom conversion code if needed, for example if you want to manage the low level events yourself and create other high level IInputEvent instances.

The events passed to this class are expected to be defined in device independent pixels.

      public void close()
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
    • onMousePressedEvent Link icon

      public void onMousePressedEvent(@NotNull MousePressedEvent mousePressedEvent)
      Entry point for the mouse pressed events of the gesture recognizer.
      Parameters:
      mousePressedEvent - the low level mouse press event.
    • onMouseReleasedEvent Link icon

      public void onMouseReleasedEvent(@NotNull MouseReleasedEvent mouseReleasedEvent)
      Entry point for the mouse released events of the gesture recognizer.
      Parameters:
      mouseReleasedEvent - the low level mouse released event.
    • onMouseMoveEvent Link icon

      public void onMouseMoveEvent(@NotNull MouseMoveEvent mouseMoveEvent)
      Entry point for the mouse move events of the gesture recognizer.
      Parameters:
      mouseMoveEvent - the low level mouse move event.
    • onScrollEvent Link icon

      public void onScrollEvent(@NotNull ScrollEvent scrollEvent)
      Entry point for the scroll events of the gesture recognizer.
      Parameters:
      scrollEvent - the low level mouse scroll event.
    • onKeyEvent Link icon

      public void onKeyEvent(@NotNull KeyEvent keyEvent)
      Entry point for the key events of the gesture recognizer.
      Parameters:
      keyEvent - the low level key event.
    • setMultiClickInterval Link icon

      public void setMultiClickInterval(long interval)
      Sets the interval (in milliseconds) used to detect multiple clicks.

      The default is 400 ms. If the interval is set to 0, no multiple clicks will be detected.

      Parameters:
      interval - the maximum time (in milliseconds) between multiple clicks.
    • getMultiClickInterval Link icon

      public long getMultiClickInterval()
      Returns the interval (in milliseconds) used to detect multiple clicks.
      Returns:
      the interval (in milliseconds) used to detect multiple clicks.
    • setDragThreshold Link icon

      public void setDragThreshold(@NotNull ScreenDistance threshold)
      Sets the screen distance that is used as threshold to detect if a drag is performed.

      It means that the mouse cursor has to move at least that amount of pixels before it can be detected as a drag gesture.

      The default value in device independent pixels is 2 pixels.

      Parameters:
      threshold - the threshold
    • getDragThreshold Link icon

      @NotNull public ScreenDistance getDragThreshold()
      Returns the screen distance that is used as threshold to detect if a drag is performed.

      It means that the mouse cursor has to move at least that distance before it can be detected as a drag gesture.

      Returns:
      the screen distance that is used as threshold to detect if a drag is performed.
    • setDpi Link icon

      public void setDpi(double dpi)
      Sets the display pixel density, expressed in dots per inch.

      If no value is provided, the platform standard pixel density is assumed.

      Parameters:
      dpi - the pixel density in dots per inch
    • getDpi Link icon

      public double getDpi()
      Returns the display pixel density, expressed in dots per inch.
      Returns:
      the display pixel density, expressed in dots per inch.
    • setDisplayScale Link icon

      public void setDisplayScale(double scale)
      Sets the display scale factor.

      If no value is provided, a scale factor of 1.0 is assumed.

      Parameters:
      scale - the display scale factor
    • getDisplayScale Link icon

      public double getDisplayScale()
      Returns the display scale factor.
      Returns:
      the display scale factor.
