Class: MousePosition

ol/control/MousePosition~MousePosition 


import MousePosition from 'ol/control/MousePosition.js';

A control to show the 2D coordinates of the mouse cursor. By default, these are in the view projection, but can be in any supported projection. By default the control is shown in the top right corner of the map, but this can be changed by using the css selector .ol-mouse-position.

On touch devices, which usually do not have a mouse cursor, the coordinates of the currently touched position are shown.
