.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions provide an interface to mouse events from
\fBncurses\fR(3X).
Mouse events are represented by \fBKEY_MOUSE\fR
pseudo-key values in the \fBwgetch\fR input stream.
+.SS mousemask
.PP
To make mouse events visible, use the \fBmousemask\fR function.
This will set
As a side effect, setting a zero mousemask may turn off the mouse pointer;
setting a nonzero mask may turn it on.
Whether this happens is device-dependent.
+.SS Mouse events
.PP
Here are the mouse event type masks which may be defined:
.PP
REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION report mouse movement
_

+.SS getmouse
.PP
-Once a class of mouse events have been made visible in a window,
+Once a class of mouse events has been made visible in a window,
calling the \fBwgetch\fR function on that window may return
\fBKEY_MOUSE\fR as an indicator that a mouse event has been queued.
To read the event data and pop the event off the queue, call
The corresponding data in the queue is marked invalid.
A subsequent call to \fBgetmouse\fP will retrieve the next older
item from the queue.
+.SS ungetmouse
.PP
The \fBungetmouse\fR function behaves analogously to \fBungetch\fR.
It pushes
a \fBKEY_MOUSE\fR event onto the input queue, and associates with that event
the given state data and screen-relative character-cell coordinates.
+.SS wenclose
.PP
The \fBwenclose\fR function tests whether a given pair of screen-relative
-character-cell coordinates is enclosed by a given window, returning TRUE
-if it is and FALSE otherwise.
+character-cell coordinates is enclosed by a given window, returning \fBTRUE\fP
+if it is and \fBFALSE\fP otherwise.
It is useful for determining what subset of
the screen windows enclose the location of a mouse event.
+.SS wmouse_trafo
.PP
The \fBwmouse_trafo\fR function transforms a given pair of coordinates
from stdscr-relative coordinates
to coordinates relative to the given window or vice versa.
-Please remember, that stdscr-relative coordinates are not always identical
+The resulting stdscr-relative coordinates are not always identical
to window-relative coordinates due to the mechanism to reserve lines on top
or bottom of the screen for other purposes
-(see the \fBripoffline()\fP and \fBslk_init\fR calls, for example).
+(see the \fBripoffline\fP and \fBslk_init\fR calls, for example).
+.bP
If the parameter \fBto_screen\fR is \fBTRUE\fR, the pointers
\fBpY, pX\fR must reference the coordinates of a location
inside the window \fBwin\fR.
They are converted to window-relative coordinates and returned
through the pointers.
If the conversion was successful, the function returns \fBTRUE\fR.
+.bP
If one of the parameters was NULL or the location is
not inside the window, \fBFALSE\fR is returned.
+.bP
If \fBto_screen\fR is
\fBFALSE\fR, the pointers \fBpY, pX\fR must reference window-relative
coordinates.
They are converted to stdscr-relative coordinates if the
window \fBwin\fR encloses this point.
In this case the function returns \fBTRUE\fR.
+.bP
If one of the parameters is NULL or the point is not inside the
window, \fBFALSE\fR is returned.
-Please notice, that the referenced coordinates
+The referenced coordinates
are only replaced by the converted coordinates if the transformation was
successful.
+.SS mouse_trafo
.PP
The \fBmouse_trafo\fR function performs the same translation
as \fBwmouse_trafo\fR,
using stdscr for \fBwin\fR.
+.SS mouseinterval
.PP
The \fBmouseinterval\fR function sets the maximum time (in thousands of a
second) that can elapse between press and release events for them to
This function returns the previous interval value.
Use \fBmouseinterval(\-1)\fR to obtain the interval without altering it.
The default is one sixth of a second.
+.SS has_mouse
.PP

successfully initialized.

+The \fIz\fP member in the event structure is not presently used.

for use with touch screens (which may be pressure-sensitive) or with
3D-mice/trackballs/power gloves.

+The \fBALL_MOUSE_EVENTS\fP class does not include \fBREPORT_MOUSE_POSITION\fP.

+For example, in xterm,

.SH BUGS
Mouse events under xterm will not in fact be ignored during cooked mode,
if they have been enabled by \fBmousemask\fR.
