SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
#include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
|
|
|
|
XDeviceTimeCoord *XGetDeviceMotionEvents( Display *display,
|
|
XDevice *device,
|
|
Time start,
|
|
Time stop,
|
|
int *nevents_return,
|
|
int *mode_return,
|
|
int *axis_count_return);
|
|
|
|
display
|
|
Specifies the connection to the X server.
|
|
|
|
device
|
|
Specifies the device whose motion history is to be
|
|
queried.
|
|
|
|
start, stop
|
|
Specify the time interval in which the events are
|
|
returned from the motionhistory buffer.You can pass a
|
|
timestamp or CurrentTime.
|
|
|
|
nevents_return
|
|
Returns the number of events from the motion history
|
|
buffer.
|
|
|
|
mode_return
|
|
Returns the mode of the device (Absolute or Relative).
|
|
|
|
axis_count_return
|
|
Returns the count of axes being reported.
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The server may retain the recent history of the device motion
|
|
and do so to a finer granularity than is reported by
|
|
DeviceMotionNotify events. The XGetDeviceMotionEvents request
|
|
makes this history available.
|
|
|
|
The XGetDeviceMotionEvents request returns all events in the
|
|
motion history buffer that fall between the specified start and
|
|
stop times, inclusive. If the start time is later than the stop
|
|
time or if the start time is in the future, no events are
|
|
returned. If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent
|
|
to specifying CurrentTime.
|
|
|
|
The mode indicates whether the device is reporting absolute
|
|
positional data (mode = Absolute ) or relative motion data
|
|
(mode = Relative ). Some devices allow their mode to be changed
|
|
via the XSetDeviceMode request. These constants are defined in
|
|
the file XI.h. The axis_count returns the number of axes or
|
|
valuators being reported by the device.
|
|
|
|
XGetDeviceMotionEvents can generate a BadDevice, or BadMatch
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
Structures
|
|
|
|
The XDeviceTimeCoord structure contains:
|
|
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
Time time;
|
|
int *data;
|
|
} XDeviceTimeCoord;
|
|
|
|
The time member is set to the time, in milliseconds. The data
|
|
member is a pointer to an array of integers. These integers are
|
|
set to the values of each valuator or axis reported by the
|
|
device. There is one element in the array per axis of motion
|
|
reported by the device. The value of the array elements depends
|
|
on the mode of the device. If the mode is Absolute, the values
|
|
are the raw values generated by the device. These may be scaled
|
|
by client programs using the maximum values that the device can
|
|
generate. The maximum value for each axis of the device is
|
|
reported in the max_val field of the XAxisInfo returned by the
|
|
XListInputDevices request. If the mode is Relative, the data
|
|
values are the relative values generated by the device.
|
|
|
|
You should use XFreeDeviceMotionEvents to free the data
|
|
returned by this request.
|
|
|
|
Errors returned by this request: BadDevice, BadMatch.
|
|
|
|
DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
BadDevice
|
|
An invalid device was specified. The specified device
|
|
does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
|
|
XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if the
|
|
specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device.
|
|
|
|
BadMatch
|
|
This error may occur if an XGetDeviceMotionEvents
|
|
request is made specifying a device that has no
|
|
valuators and reports no axes of motion.
