[PATCH weston v3 1/5] protocol: Add _wl_pointer_gestures (swipe/pinch) protocol

Carlos Garnacho carlosg at gnome.org
Fri Jul 31 06:59:51 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.

v3: Reword exclusiveness of gestures and client-side semantics.
    specify further the "cancelled" field in end events. Renamed
    XML file to be more specific.
v2: Moved to an standalone xml

+<protocol name="pointer_gestures">
+  <interface name="_wl_pointer_gestures" version="1">
+    <description summary="touchpad gestures">
+      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. Each
+      version of this protocol should be considered incompatible with any
+      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.
