💅 M(nged) — the send-an-mged-mouse-event page 🖱️✨

okay bestie, welcome to the M page from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual — she's short, she's sweet, and she literally moves your view around, no cap 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

M — send an mged mouse event 🖱️💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

M {1/0} {xpos ypos}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: M sends an mged mouse event — and yes, it defaults to a middle mouse button event, iykyk 🖱️✨

The first argument tells it whether the event should be a button press (1) or a release (0). Super simple, she's not complicated 💅

Then xpos and ypos are the mouse position in mged screen coordinates, and they live between -2047 and +2047 — that's the whole range, don't try to be extra 🫶

With the default bindings, an mged mouse event while you're in viewing mode moves the view so that the point currently sitting at screen position (xpos,ypos) gets repositioned to the center of the mged display — literally compare it to the center command, they're besties 👑

And the plot twist? M can also be used in other editing modes to simulate an mged mouse event. versatile icon behavior, honestly 🌈

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

Translate the point at specified screen coordinates to the center of the display. periodt.

Example 1. Translate the point at screen coordinates (100,100) to the center of the mged display.

mged> M 1 100 100

and the result, bestie:

The point at screen coordinates (100,100)is repositioned to the
center of the display.

(yes the original is missing a space there, I'm not gonna gaslight you, that's just how she's written 😭💀)
