how to get mouse coordinates (x,y) in pixel instead of 3d vector?

[Horst JENS]

vpython mouse question: Is there a simple way to get the mouse coordinates in screen pixel (like (0,0) for topleft corner, (800,600) for bottom right corner?

I try to make a projection of the mouse using scene.forward as vector but i am not very sucessfull.

Not sure whether this is what you're looking for, but when you run this program you see the x and y pixel values relative to the center of the canvas:

box()
width = scene.width = 500
height = scene.height = 500
pos = label()
while True:
    rate(60)
    p = scene.mouse.pos
    xx = int(p.x*0.5*width/0.87)
    yy = int(p.y*0.5*height/0.87)
    pos.text = vec(xx,yy,0)
