💖 NAME 💖

Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Motion — bestie, this is the lil object that shows up when your mouse (or finger, or stylus, or whatever pointing device you're feeling that day) moves. It's a Gtk2::Gdk::Event subclass, so it's got that family bloodline going on. 💅

This page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, iykyk.

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

The family tree, no cap:

Gtk2::Gdk::Event
+----Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Motion

So it inherits everything from Gtk2::Gdk::Event and then adds its own little motion-y extras. Main character energy, honestly. 👑

✨ METHODS ✨

💫 device or undef = $eventmotion->device ($newvalue=undef)

Gets you the device that made this motion happen — or sets it if you pass something in. 🖱️

  • $newvalue — a Gtk2::Gdk::Device, or undef if you want to leave it empty. Defaults to undef when you don't pass anything.

💫 integer = $eventmotion->is_hint ($newvalue=0)

The vibe check on whether this motion event is just a hint rather than a real, solid position. Returns an integer. ✨

  • $newvalue — an integer. Defaults to 0.

💫 $event->request_motions

Asks for the motions, bestie. 🦋

Since: gtk+ 2.12

💫 double = $event->x ($newvalue=0.0)

The x coordinate, obviously. Returns a double. 🎀

  • $newvalue — a double. Defaults to 0.0.

💫 double = $event->y ($newvalue=0.0)

And the y coordinate to go with it — because a point needs both, periodt. 🌈

  • $newvalue — a double. Defaults to 0.0.
