[PD] gem mouse, how to get absolute coords?

[danja]

well, for now i ended up by simply adding sequential delta values to
each other:

[inlet]_______________
|                     |
[flow/valuechange]    |
|                     |
[count/iter] or [accum]
|
[autoscale]
|
[int]
|
[outlet]

doesn't feel very accurate, however gives me the right ranges.
