Interface MinuetoMouseHandler

public interface MinuetoMouseHandler

The MinuetoMouseHanlder is an interface for receiving a mouse event (motion, click) from a MinuetoWindow and handling it.

In other words, the class that will handle mouse input from MinuetoWindow must extend this interface. In turn, that class must be registered with the MinuetoEventQueue.

An event is generated everytime the mouse is clicked or moved. When the handle method on the MinuetoEventQueue is invoked, that event is processed and the appropriate method in MinuetoMouseHandler is invoked.

Since:

Minueto 0.4
