    Name Type Description
    event PCCViewer.Event

    A PCCViewer.Event object that represents the event. The event object is often augmented with properties which provide event specific information.

    See:

    Example

    // Our event handler declaration.
    // The handler will be called with one argument of type PCCViewer.Event.
    function pageCountReadyEventHandler(event) {
        var target = event.getTarget(),  // `getTarget` is defined on every event object
            type = event.getType();      // `getType` is defined on every event object
    
        // The PageCountReady event augments the event object with property `pageCount`
        var pageCount = event.pageCount;
    }
    
    // Subscribe the event handler to an event.
    viewerControl.on("PageCountReady", pageCountReadyEventHandler);
