it sounds like the problem is in the position readout, not the mouse code, I would just make the conversion there. When you convert the mouse coordinate all you are doing is making your life easier for dealing with the openGL coordinates for detecting the mouse position etc.
with regards to the keys and functions you'll want something like this
inside the keydown event
def keydown(event):
if event.key==K_e :
doMyFunction()
if the very first thing in the keydown function is something like
if anyKeyIsDown:
quit
then you'll never execute any other code in the function.

Correct, my apologies, I did mean bottom left.What I'm confused about, is that on the screen, as I move my mouse around, the y values of the Position readout still starts from (0,0) in the upper left hand corner. The bottom left reads a value of (0,600), so basically the mathematical way of converting this to what I want would be the -y + 600 (so that that the bottom of the display reads a value of zero, and the top reads a value of 600). I would like the position readout to display the OpenGL coordinates as opposed to the pygame.mouse version.I'm not having a problem with the positioning of text on the screen, in fact I would like the position readout to reflect the manner in which text is placed, so that I can go back for later reference to the specific location.Perhaps there's a problem with the conversion to OpenGL coordinates then?Also, I know this is mildly off subject, but you wouldn't happen to know how to assign a key on the keyboard to a function such as quitting or alternating background color? Any key that I press other than space, esc, home, end, and the arrows, closes out the program. I've managed to get the processes I want to happen occur with these keys, but not with any other. I know the coding for these functions are good, just not how to assign say the "plus" sign as a recognized key.-Jeff ________________________________ From: visionegg-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of adam naples Sent: Wed 7/11/2007 12:26 PM To: visionegg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [visionegg] Re: pygame.mouse.get_pos() bottom right? I think you might mean bottom left? either way, it depends on what you want to do. the line y = screen.size[1]-y # convert to OpenGL coordsis taking the vertical position of the mouse on the screen and flipping the coordinates, remember opengl coordinates start in the bottom left, not the upper left.Are you trying to change the way objects are placed on the screen?I have a big pile of code for doing things that sounds like they are related to this, but I'm not sure what you want to do.hope I can help -a On Jul 10, 2007, at 12:30 PM, Maher, Jeffrey wrote: Hello all,As I have been going through the programming, I have run into a major stumbling block when it comes to pygame.mouse.get_pos().According to the description , pygame.mouse.get_pos() takes the coordinate mapping system from the upper left hand corner of the display. Is there anyway to make this map out the coordinates from the bottom right hand corner, so that standard x-y coordinates can be applied (such as in the positioning of text)?For reference here's how the program reads: just_current_pos = mouse_position (x,y) = pygame.mouse.get_pos() y = screen.size[1]-y # convert to OpenGL coords mouse_position = (x,y) if just_current_pos != mouse_position: last_mouse_position = just_current_posMy attempts at changing the coordinates mathematically (y= -y +600) have failed, either by having the display outside of the viewing screen, or my personal favorite, inverting the mouse all- together. I've tried manipulating the y= line as well as the mouse_position line, all to no avail.Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
