How to get the coordinate of cursor when click left botton ?

Vincent Lin

Hello Matthias,

Wish you and K-layout team have a great 2025, and also hope to see more functions of art this year.
Now I am trying to develop a simple routing feature by myself, but I can't find out how to get the coordinate of cursor while click the left button.

A simple hint woulld be appreciated.

Hello Matthias,

I found the relative topic but disscussed in Python, I put it into Ruby as below,
but I would like to ask two more questions if passible

1 ) After macro is run, the measurement cursor setting seems to be initialized ?

2 ) How to achieve the black outline of simulated path and just pressed " ctrl " could force it turn to 45 degree or perpendicular ?

I wonder question 2 ) may not easy to explain, please ignore if it's a long story
( it should be relatived to Pcell things )

class PluginTestFactory < RBA::PluginFactory

  # Constructor
  def initialize
    # registers the new plugin class at position 100000 (at the end), with name
    # "my_plugin_test" and title "My plugin test"
    register(100000, "my_plugin_test", "My plugin test")
  end

  # Create a new plugin instance of the custom type
  def create_plugin(manager, dispatcher, view)
    return PluginTest.new
  end

end

# The plugin class
class PluginTest < RBA::Plugin
  def mouse_moved_event(p, buttons, prio)
    if prio
      # Set the cursor to cross if our plugin is active.
      set_cursor(RBA::Cursor::Cross)
    end
    # Returning false indicates that we don't want to consume the event.
    # This way for example the cursor position tracker still works.
    false
  end
  def mouse_click_event(p, buttons, prio)
    if prio
      puts p  # this line might be weird a bit
      # This indicates we want to consume the event and others don't receive the mouse click
      # with prio = false.
      return true
    end
    # don't consume the event if we are not active.
    false
  end
end

# Instantiate the new plugin factory.
PluginTestFactory.new

Thanks
Vincent
