A global interface to provide semantic touchpad gestures for a given
pointer.
Two gestures are currently supported: swipe and zoom/rotate.
All gestures follow a three-stage cycle: begin, update, end and
are identified by a unique id.
Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
interface version number is reset.
Create a swipe gesture object. See the
wl_pointer_gesture_swipe interface for details.
Create a pinch gesture object. See the
wl_pointer_gesture_pinch interface for details.
Destroy the pointer gesture object. Swipe and pinch objects created via this
gesture object remain valid.
A swipe gesture object notifies a client about a multi-finger swipe
gesture detected on an indirect input device such as a touchpad.
The gesture is usually initiated by multiple fingers moving in the
same direction but once initiated the direction may change.
The precise conditions of when such a gesture is detected are
implementation-dependent.
A gesture consists of three stages: begin, update (optional) and end.
There cannot be multiple simultaneous pinch or swipe gestures on a
same pointer/seat, how compositors prevent these situations is
implementation-dependent.
A gesture may be cancelled by the compositor or the hardware.
Clients should not consider performing permanent or irreversible
actions until the end of a gesture has been received.
This event is sent when a multi-finger swipe gesture is detected
on the device.
This event is sent when a multi-finger swipe gesture changes the
position of the logical center.
The dx and dy coordinates are relative coordinates of the logical
center of the gesture compared to the previous event.
This event is sent when a multi-finger swipe gesture ceases to
be valid. This may happen when one or more fingers are lifted or
the gesture is cancelled.
When a gesture is cancelled, the client should undo state changes
caused by this gesture. What causes a gesture to be cancelled is
implementation-dependent.
A pinch gesture object notifies a client about a multi-finger pinch
gesture detected on an indirect input device such as a touchpad.
The gesture is usually initiated by multiple fingers moving towards
each other or away from each other, or by two or more fingers rotating
around a logical center of gravity. The precise conditions of when
such a gesture is detected are implementation-dependent.

actions until the end of a gesture has been received.
This event is sent when a multi-finger pinch gesture is detected
on the device.
This event is sent when a multi-finger pinch gesture changes the
position of the logical center, the rotation or the relative scale.
The dx and dy coordinates are relative coordinates in the
surface coordinate space of the logical center of the gesture.
The scale factor is an absolute scale compared to the
pointer_gesture_pinch.begin event, e.g. a scale of 2 means the fingers
are now twice as far apart as on pointer_gesture_pinch.begin.
The rotation is the relative angle in degrees clockwise compared to the previous
pointer_gesture_pinch.begin or pointer_gesture_pinch.update event.
This event is sent when a multi-finger pinch gesture ceases to
be valid. This may happen when one or more fingers are lifted or
the gesture is cancelled.
When a gesture is cancelled, the client should undo state changes
caused by this gesture. What causes a gesture to be cancelled is
implementation-dependent.
