How to Retrieve X, Y Coordinates of JavaScript Diagram?
This article how to Retrieve X, Y Coordinates of JavaScript Diagram. In a JavaScript Diagram, obtaining the X and Y coordinates becomes crucial for various interactive functionalities. While the mouseover event is commonly used when hovering over nodes or connectors, it may not trigger when the mouse is over an empty diagram space. To precisely capture the mouse's position over the entire diagram, the mouseMove event should be employed.
Refer to the following code snippet to understand how to acquire the exact X and Y coordinates of a diagram using the mouseMove event.
diagram = new Diagram({
width: '100%', height: '645px', nodes: nodes,
});
diagram.appendTo('#diagram');
function created(): void {
diagram.fitToPage({ mode: 'Width' });
}
function DiagrammouseOver(arg:MouseEvent) {
var offsetX;
var offsetY;
offsetX = arg.clientX;
offsetY = arg.clientY;
var position:Size = new Size();
position = getRulerSize(diagram);
var boundingRect = diagram.element.getBoundingClientRect();
offsetX = offsetX + diagram.diagramCanvas.scrollLeft - boundingRect.left - position.width;
offsetY = offsetY + diagram.diagramCanvas.scrollTop - boundingRect.top - position.height;
offsetX /= diagram.scroller.transform.scale;
offsetY /= diagram.scroller.transform.scale;
offsetX -= diagram.scroller.transform.tx;
offsetY -= diagram.scroller.transform.ty;
console.log('offsetX:' + offsetX + ', offsetY:' + offsetY);
}
function getRulerSize(diagram: Diagram): Size {
let top: number = 0;
let left: number = 0;
if (diagram.rulerSettings.showRulers) {
top = diagram.rulerSettings.horizontalRuler.thickness;
left = diagram.rulerSettings.verticalRuler.thickness;
}
return new Size(left, top);
}
//Enable or disable the AspectRatio for Node.
document.addEventListener('mousemove',DiagrammouseOver)
Refer to the working sample for additional details and implementation: sample on StackBlitz.
