Program Structure and Events | Package = N/A
Function | Return Type | Description | Example
cleanUp()
N/A
If defined, this function is called once just before the program stops.
def cleanUp():
  print("program is stopping.")
mouseEvent(pressed, x, y, firstPress)
N/A
If defined, this function is called when the user clicks and/or moves the mouse on the workspace icon of this device.

- pressed - a boolean indicating whether the left mouse button is pressed down
- x - the x coordinate (in pixels) of the mouse relative to the workspace icon's top left corner

def mouseEvent(pressed, x, y, firstPress):
  if firstPress:
    doSomething()
measurementSystemChangeEvent()
