interface PointerEvent

Pointer event object passed to onpointer* event handlers

This behavior is only available in the new v8 javascript engine objects.

These events adhere as close as possible to the standard PointerEvent structure: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer\_events

Multi-touch and tablet events are currently only supported on Windows.

Max includes extensions to the standard for convenience: - commandKey: command key on Mac, ctrl key on Win - contextModifier: right click or control click on Mac, with right click on Win - capsLock: caps lock state - tipInverted: Pen tip inverted--i.e. eraser pointed at tablet (coming in future)

Currently unsupported properties: - width: contact area width - height: contact area height - tangentialPressure: tangential pressure
