This class is meant as an emulation of the MouseX UGen. last mod: 30-jul-07 sciss
This class replaces the UGen by a control bus reader. It does not really track the mouse movements ; instead you can write the virtual mouse values (0 ... 1) onto this control bus or use a GUI panel as shown in the example code below.

| class | this is not a UGen subclass, so in rare circumstances there are incompatibilities |
Note: please use the abstraction layer GUI.mouseX if possible! (see GUI)
JMouseX acts like a user-interface UGen. It outputs a control rate signal that reflects the horizontal screen coordinate of the mouse.
JMouseX.kr( <minval>, <maxval>, <warp>, <lag> )
minval, maxval – range between left and right end of screenwarp – mapping curve. 0 is linear, 1 is exponential (for freq or times e.g). alternative: 'linear', 'exponential'lag – lag factor to dezpipper cursor movement
Example:
s.boot;
{ SinOsc.ar( JMouseX.kr( 40, 10000, 1 ), 0, 0.1 )}.play;
JMouseX.set( 0.5 );
JMouseX.set( 1.0 );
JMouseX.set( 0.0 );
// or use a GUI to control (requires SwingOSC server running)
// ; the panel tracks mouse movement, unless shift key is hold down
JMouseBase.makeGUI; // optional arg is panel size!
