The protocol guarantees that each axis_discrete event is always followed by exactly one axis event with the same axis number within the same wl_pointer\&.frame\&. Note that the protocol allows for other events to occur between the axis_discrete and its coupled axis event, including other axis_discrete or axis events\&. .PP This event is optional; continuous scrolling devices like two-finger scrolling on touchpads do not have discrete steps and do not generate this event\&. .PP The discrete value carries the directional information\&. e\&.g\&. a value of -2 is two steps towards the negative direction of this axis\&. .PP The axis number is identical to the axis number in the associated axis event\&. .PP The order of wl_pointer\&.axis_discrete and wl_pointer\&.axis_source is not guaranteed\&. .PP Definition at line \fB2723\fP of file \fBwayland\-server\-protocol\&.cpp\fP\&. .SS "void pointer_t::axis_source (pointer_axis_source const & axis_source, bool post = \fCtrue\fP)" .PP axis source event .PP \fBParameters\fP .RS 4 \fIaxis_source\fP source of the axis event .RE .PP Source information for scroll and other axes\&. .PP This event does not occur on its own\&. It is sent before a wl_pointer\&.frame event and carries the source information for all events within that frame\&. .PP The source specifies how this event was generated\&. If the source is wl_pointer\&.axis_source\&.finger, a wl_pointer\&.axis_stop event will be sent when the user lifts the finger off the device\&. .PP If the source is wl_pointer\&.axis_source\&.wheel, wl_pointer\&.axis_source\&.wheel_tilt or wl_pointer\&.axis_source\&.continuous, a wl_pointer\&.axis_stop event may or may not be sent\&. Whether a compositor sends an axis_stop event for these sources is hardware-specific and implementation-dependent; clients must not rely on receiving an axis_stop event for these scroll sources and should treat scroll sequences from these scroll sources as unterminated by default\&. .PP This event is optional\&. If the source is unknown for a particular axis event sequence, no event is sent\&. Only one wl_pointer\&.axis_source event is permitted per frame\&. .PP The order of wl_pointer\&.axis_discrete and wl_pointer\&.axis_source is not guaranteed\&. .PP Definition at line \fB2703\fP of file \fBwayland\-server\-protocol\&.cpp\fP\&. .SS "void pointer_t::axis_stop (uint32_t time, pointer_axis const & axis, bool post = \fCtrue\fP)" .PP axis stop event .PP \fBParameters\fP .RS 4 \fItime\fP timestamp with millisecond granularity .br \fIaxis\fP the axis stopped with this event .RE .PP Stop notification for scroll and other axes\&. .PP For some wl_pointer\&.axis_source types, a wl_pointer\&.axis_stop event is sent to notify a client that the axis sequence has terminated\&. This enables the client to implement kinetic scrolling\&. See the wl_pointer\&.axis_source documentation for information on when this event may be generated\&. .PP Any wl_pointer\&.axis events with the same axis_source after this event should be considered as the start of a new axis motion\&. .PP The timestamp is to be interpreted identical to the timestamp in the wl_pointer\&.axis event\&.

For example, an axis_value120 of 30 is one quarter of a logical scroll step in the positive direction, a value120 of -240 are two logical scroll steps in the negative direction within the same hardware event\&. Clients that rely on discrete scrolling should accumulate the value120 to multiples of 120 before processing the event\&. .PP The value120 must not be zero\&. .PP This event replaces the wl_pointer\&.axis_discrete event in clients supporting wl_pointer version 8 or later\&. .PP Where a wl_pointer\&.axis_source event occurs in the same wl_pointer\&.frame, the axis source applies to this event\&. .PP The order of wl_pointer\&.axis_value120 and wl_pointer\&.axis_source is not guaranteed\&. .PP Definition at line \fB2733\fP of file \fBwayland\-server\-protocol\&.cpp\fP\&. .SS "void pointer_t::button (uint32_t serial, uint32_t time, uint32_t button, pointer_button_state const & state, bool post = \fCtrue\fP)" .PP pointer button event .PP \fBParameters\fP .RS 4 \fIserial\fP serial number of the button event .br \fItime\fP timestamp with millisecond granularity .br \fIbutton\fP button that produced the event .br \fIstate\fP physical state of the button .RE .PP Mouse button click and release notifications\&. .PP The location of the click is given by the last motion or enter event\&.

A client is expected to accumulate the data in all events within the frame before proceeding\&. .PP All wl_pointer events before a wl_pointer\&.frame event belong logically together\&. For example, in a diagonal scroll motion the compositor will send an optional wl_pointer\&.axis_source event, two wl_pointer\&.axis events (horizontal and vertical) and finally a wl_pointer\&.frame event\&. The client may use this information to calculate a diagonal vector for scrolling\&. .PP When multiple wl_pointer\&.axis events occur within the same frame, the motion vector is the combined motion of all events\&. When a wl_pointer\&.axis and a wl_pointer\&.axis_stop event occur within the same frame, this indicates that axis movement in one axis has stopped but continues in the other axis\&. When multiple wl_pointer\&.axis_stop events occur within the same frame, this indicates that these axes stopped in the same instance\&. .PP A wl_pointer\&.frame event is sent for every logical event group, even if the group only contains a single wl_pointer event\&. Specifically, a client may get a sequence: motion, frame, button, frame, axis, frame, axis_stop, frame\&. .PP The wl_pointer\&.enter and wl_pointer\&.leave events are logical events generated by the compositor and not the hardware\&. These events are also grouped by a wl_pointer\&.frame\&. When a pointer moves from one surface to another, a compositor should group the wl_pointer\&.leave event within the same wl_pointer\&.frame\&. However, a client must not rely on wl_pointer\&.leave and wl_pointer\&.enter being in the same wl_pointer\&.frame\&. Compositor-specific policies may require the wl_pointer\&.leave and wl_pointer\&.enter event being split across multiple wl_pointer\&.frame groups\&. .PP Definition at line \fB2693\fP of file \fBwayland\-server\-protocol\&.cpp\fP\&. .SS "std::string wayland::server::resource_t::get_class ()\fC [inherited]\fP" Retrieve the interface name (class) of a resource object\&. .PP \fBReturns\fP .RS 4 Interface name of the resource object\&. .RE .PP .SS "client_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_client () const\fC [inherited]\fP" Get the associated client .PP \fBReturns\fP .RS 4 the client that owns the resource\&. .RE .PP .SS "uint32_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_id () const\fC [inherited]\fP" Get the internal ID of the resource .PP \fBReturns\fP .RS 4 the internal ID of the resource .RE .PP .SS "unsigned int wayland::server::resource_t::get_version () const\fC [inherited]\fP" Get interface version .PP \fBReturns\fP .RS 4 Interface version this resource has been constructed with\&. .RE .PP .SS "void pointer_t::leave (uint32_t serial, \fBsurface_t\fP const & surface, bool post = \fCtrue\fP)" .PP leave event .PP \fBParameters\fP .RS 4 \fIserial\fP serial number of the leave event .br \fIsurface\fP surface left by the pointer .RE .PP Notification that this seat's pointer is no longer focused on a certain surface\&. .PP The leave notification is sent before the enter notification for the new focus\&. .PP Definition at line \fB2673\fP of file \fBwayland\-server\-protocol\&.cpp\fP\&. .SS "void pointer_t::motion (uint32_t time, double surface_x, double surface_y, bool post = \fCtrue\fP)" .PP pointer motion event .PP \fBParameters\fP .RS 4 \fItime\fP timestamp with millisecond granularity .br \fIsurface_x\fP surface-local x coordinate .br \fIsurface_y\fP surface-local y coordinate .RE .PP Notification of pointer location change\&.
