Properties

delay

{Integer}

Number of milliseconds between mousemoves before the event is considered a hover. Default is 500.

pixelTolerance

{Integer}

Maximum number of pixels between mousemoves for an event to be considered a hover. Default is null.

stopMove

{Boolean}

Stop other listeners from being notified on mousemoves. Default is false.

px

{<ALKMaps.Pixel>}

The location of the last mousemove, expressed in pixels.

timerId

{Number}

The id of the timer.

Constructor

ALKMaps.Handler.Hover

Construct a hover handler.

Parameters

control	{ALKMaps.Control} The control that initialized this handler. The control is assumed to have a valid map property; that map is used in the handler’s own setMap method.
callbacks	{Object} An object with keys corresponding to callbacks that will be called by the handler. The callbacks should expect to receive a single argument, the event. Callbacks for ‘move’, the mouse is moving, and ‘pause’, the mouse is pausing, are supported.
options	{Object} An optional object whose properties will be set on the handler.

mouseout

mouseout: function( evt )

Called when the mouse goes out of the map.

Parameters

evt	{ALKMaps.Event}

Returns

{Boolean} Continue propagating this event.

passesTolerance

passesTolerance: function( px )

Determine whether the mouse move is within the optional pixel tolerance.

Parameters

px	{ALKMaps.Pixel}

Returns

{Boolean} The mouse move is within the pixel tolerance.

clearTimer

clearTimer: function()

Clear the timer and set timerId to null.

delayedCall

delayedCall: function( evt )

Triggers pause callback.

Parameters

deactivate

deactivate: function()

Deactivate the handler.
