      -'xPositionClient' and 'yPositionClient' return the current cursor position in client coordinates (zero equals top-left corner).

      -'drawingTool' gets the drawing tool instance.

      -'isControlPoint' tells if the event was triggered by one of the drawing tool's control points.

    Returns void

onPointerLeave

  • Event that triggers when pointer is moved away from the drawing tool.

    Parameters

    • handler: Handler<PointerLeaveEvent>

      Event handler containing the following parameters:
