Cursor position

[pllim]

Hi. How do I get the cursor position out of the map? Thank you.

There is a notebook on the repo that does it for displaying the cursor position in a Label widget:

from ipywidgets import Label
from ipyleaflet import Map

m = Map()

label = Label()
display(label)

def handle_interaction(**kwargs):
    if kwargs.get('type') == 'mousemove':
        label.value = str(kwargs.get('coordinates'))

m.on_interaction(handle_interaction)

m

Thanks for the quick response. What if I don't want the Earth coordinates, but rather raw offset values from the viewer's (0, 0) (i.e., lower left corner)?

I guess you would need to compute them yourself, given the cursor position, the south, north, east and west Map attributes. If what you want is pixel coordinates it would also depend on the Map size in the DOM.

@eteq just told me about #327 and I think that is closer to what I actually need. Thank you!

Oh yeah, definitely!
