"Mouse" PlugIT

The "Mouse" PlugIT allows to recuperate the mouse position coordinates, in 2D or 3D. It also allows to detect button uses of the mouse in the application (not to be confused with the ObjectClick PlugIT, which allows to detect mouse uses on a defined single object).
The position coordinates of the mouse are sent for each event.
