Space mouse support
I know that onshape supports space mouse. Can glvis also support space mouse, especially in live mode within the browser?
GLVis uses SDL2, so the question of adding support for space mouse is if SDL2 detects the device and then what type of SDL_*
events it generates, so we can process them in various places, e.g. here: https://github.com/GLVis/glvis/blob/c2e621cb042cc0950fc4bc1472a1410bfcbe36bf/lib/sdl.cpp#L362 here: https://github.com/GLVis/glvis/blob/c2e621cb042cc0950fc4bc1472a1410bfcbe36bf/lib/sdl_main.cpp#L188 and probably other places.
One can probably add potential event candidates to the big switch
in the method SdlMainThread::DispatchSDLEvents()
with a print statement to see what events are generated by the device. The potential candidates are most likely the following SDL events: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/9237f8edc16c88028a6de5514196fb798c4a0f5c/include/SDL_events.h#L113-L133
