[PATCH wayland v2] protocol: Add pointer gestures (swipe/pinch) protocol

Carlos Garnacho carlosg at gnome.org
Thu Jul 16 10:59:10 PDT 2015


The lifetime and progress of gestures is maintained by the separate
wl_pointer_gesture_pinch and wl_pointer_gesture_swipe interfaces,
each of these has begin/update(optional)/end phases, as transmitted
by their events.

The gesture interfaces can be obtained from the wl_pointer, and
must be interpreted on the last surface entered by the pointer,
starting from the pointer coordinates.
