Hi Thomas,
There's a couple of things you can do. The CoordMouseMode asks the
InformationDelegator to put the coordinates on its info line
specified for coordinates
(InformationDelegator.COORDINATE_INFO_LINE), and to the
InformationDelegator, that's just a JLabel. If you want the
coordinates to go somewhere else, you can create a JLabel somewhere
else in your application, and tell the InformationDelegator you want
it to use your label instead.
You can also just put the information delegator somewhere else in
your GUI and have it display the coords.
You can add a MouseMotionListener to the MapBean to get the mouse
events. The MapBean has methods on it that will tell you the
coordinates of the pixel location, and should be the source of the
MouseEvents you get.
To get to the MapBean and/or the InformationDelegator, you can use
the MapHandler in the BasicMapPanel, if that's what you are using.
Hope this helps,
Don
