Input Devices
 Logical Input Devices
Categorized based on functional
characteristics.
Each device transmits a particular kind of
data.
The different types of data are called input
primitives.
 Physical Input Devices
Categorized based on the physical machine.

Logical Input Devices
 Locator Devices
Input Primitive: Coordinate position (x,y)
Examples: Mouse, Keyboard (CursorPosition Keys), Tablet(Digitizer), Trackballs,
Lightpens.
Applications: Interactive drawing and editing,
Graph digitizing.

Mouse Interaction
 Mouse Event
Event that occurs when the mouse button is
pressed or released.
 Mouse Motion Event
Event that occurs when the mouse is moved
while one of the buttons is pressed.
RM
[2]-14
Mouse Event
 Contains the following information:
Button: The mouse button that is pressed –
left, middle, right.
State: The state of the button – up, down.
Position: The position of the mouse when
the event occurs (x, y).
RM
[2]-15
Mouse Event (OpenGL)
Registering with Mouse Event:
glutMouseFunc(myMouse);
Call-back function:
void myMouse(int button, int state, int x, int y)
Values for button: GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON, GLUT_MIDDLE_BUTTON
GLUT_RIGHT_BUTTON
Values for state:
GLUT_UP,
GLUT_DOWN
x, y: Screen coordinates of mouse position (origin at top-left corner).
RM
[2]-16
Mouse Motion Event
 Contains the following information:
Position: The current position of the mouse
as the mouse is being dragged holding one
of the buttons pressed. The events are
continuously generated as the mouse button
is pressed and dragged.
RM
[2]-17
Mouse Motion Event (OpenGL)
Registering with Mouse Motion Event:
glutMotionFunc(myMovedMouse);
Call-back function:
void myMovedMouse(int x, int y)
x, y: Screen coordinates of mouse position (origin at top-left corner).
RM
[2]-18
Keyboard Event
 Contains the following information:
key: The ASCII value of the key pressed.
Position: The current position of the mouse
when the key is pressed.
RM
[2]-19
Keyboard Event (OpenGL)
Registering with Keyboard Event:
glutKeyboardFunc(myKeyboard);
Call-back function:
void myKeyboard(unsigned int key, int x, int y)
Values of key:
ASCII value for normal keys
GLUT_KEY_LEFT, GLUT_KEY_RIGHT..(Arrow keys)
x, y: Screen coordinates of mouse position (origin at top-left corner).
RM

Window Events
 The Window Redraw Event occurs
whenever the window needs to be redrawn.
This happens when the window is first
opened and when the window is exposed by
moving another window off of it.
 The Window Reshape Event is generated
when the window is resized with the mouse.
RM
[2]-21
Window Events (OpenGL)
Registering with Window Redraw Event:
glutDisplayFunc(myDisplay);
Registering with Window Reshape Event:
glutReshapeFunc(myReshape);
