PCCViewer. MouseTool

This object represents an instance of a mouse tool. Each mouse tool is given a name and type when it is created. The name is used as a handle to the mouse tool. The type defines the behavior and properties of the mouse tool.

A named mouse tool is a global tool that is available to all viewers. Each viewer instance can access the same MouseTool object by name. This permits one mouse tool to be used by two different viewer instances at the same time.

Constructor

new MouseTool()

The MouseTool constructor is for internal use only. The appropriate way to create and register a new named mouse tool is to use the method PCCViewer.MouseTools.createMouseTool.

Throws:

If the type is unknown. See PCCViewer.MouseTool.Type for a list of known tool types.

Type
RangeError
Example
// use the PCCViewer.MouseTools.createMouseTool(name, type) 
// function instead of this constructor.
