Mouse (Built-in Patch) in Controller, Device

Mouse

This patch returns the current state of the mouse pointing device.

The mouse position is expressed in units in the Quartz Composer coordinates system.

Note that this patch does not read the mouse state directly but is dependent on the proper information being passed to the composition. This information may not always be available, depending on the environment in which Quartz Composer is running.
