[PATCH weston v2 1/5] protocol: Add _wl_pointer_gestures (swipe/pinch) protocol

Carlos Garnacho carlosg at gnome.org
Thu Jul 23 10:00:27 PDT 2015


The whole feature is exposed by the wl_pointer_gestures global
resource, which can be used to obtain individual swipe/pinch
gesture interfaces for a given wl_pointer.

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 protocol is marked as unstable, an is thus '_' prefixed, this
prefix will be removed when the protocol is deemed stable.

+      A global interface to provide semantic touchpad gestures for a given

+      other version, and a client binding to a version different to the one
+      advertised will be terminated. Once the protocol is declared stable,
+      compatibility is guaranteed, the '_' prefix will be removed from the
+      name and the version will be reset to 1.
