I thought i had this nailed and then i hit fullscreen mode and whoosh new problems

Neways i was wondering if there is anyway of tracking a mouse's x and y values within a jit.window and only in that jit.window as well as having the x and y values not changing in fullscreen mode or on diffrent monitors.

I know its a bit of a tall order but there must be some sort of way round this problem

Are you using the mouse output from jit.window?

You'll have to at least scale them according to windows size.

jit.window outputs window coordinates

But when i go to fullscreen the x and y values shoot up.

Obviously due to the increased screen size. 

Yes.
This works fine on a small window.

But is there any way to stop that at all


yes, when you go to fullscreen, send the coordinates to a [scale] object to confine the output to the same min and max coordinates that you were using in the pwindow. if the x/y of the first window was 320 240, and the x/y of fullscreen is 800 600, then you'll use two scales. for the x - [scale 0 800 0 320] y - [scale 0 600 0 240]

or use a separate pwindow for your mouse interaction

ah this is true. But the problem is if i then move to say my laptop the full screen scale will be wrong. Or is there away of just cementing the fullscreen at a certain resolution.

Or if not a way of adjust the scale for several diffrent screen resolutions

Like it is always 800 600 at fullscreen.

If you make any use of jit.gl.render in your patch try using the 

screentoworld method and pasing the mouse window x,y coordinates as 

agruments 1 and 2, then just route screentoworld out of the 

jit.gl.render dump, and you'll get normalized coordinates for your

Something else I've done in the past is taken the dim from jit.display dumpout if you need to change scale items and automatically detect the settings of new computer screen to change your objects (I think you mentioned scale?). It's also useful if you have multiple screens (such as a projector) and don't know what the resolution is.
