Some more ways to evaluate mouse events definitely would be nice to
have in Pd. for now I would recommend [tot] for this. You use it with
the subpatches name like [tot data] for a [pd data] subpatch, send it
a [capture 1( message and then it will report from its third outlet
messages like "motion x y" etc.  which you can [route] and work with.

It's not documented in the reference patches yet, but in
doc/4.data.structures/*.pd 

"f(0:100)(0:20)" is documented in doc/4.data.structures/09.scaling.pd
