# absoluteX

The absolute x coordinate of a pointing device on its tablet at full tablet resolution.

## Declaration

```swift
var absoluteX: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For the coordinate to be valid, this event must be generated by a tablet pointing device (otherwise the property is set to 0). This property is valid only for mouse events with a subtype of NSTabletPointEventSubtype and for events of type NSTabletPoint. Use this value if you want to scale from tablet location to screen location yourself; otherwise use the class method mouseLocation or the instance method locationInWindow.
