Hi ed, glad to hear it.

Okay - I misunderstood the var name "x_new" and I have now tried this
formula with my mousex in the place of x_new.

     x = (mx - mymatrix.x0)/mymatrix.xx;
     y = (my - mymatrix.y0)/mymatrix.yy;


The result is much the same as posted before: I get wild jumps between
values. For example:
mx my: 323,256|326,666 becomes x y: 18,2562|21,6656
mx my: 321,256|327,666 becomes x y: 53|56
mx my: 320,256|327,666 becomes x y: 17,2562|21,6656
mx my: 318,256|327,666 becomes x y: 51|56

So, x = [18,53,17,51] See the jumps?

I double-checked (on valadoc) and the event.motion seems to be a double.

Please let me know if that's a mistake!

I'm not sure how that helps the problem of the numbers oscillating like
they do. Could it be a casting thing?

I won't re-attach my test code, but please ask if you want it.


Many thanks,
