Description
Mira.multitouch receives touch and gesture data from a multitouch device. It will output the position and state of as many touches as are supported by the device. When enabled, it will also output a message when a device gesture is recognized, as well as the state of that gesture. Mira.multitouch can recognize tap, swipe, rotation and pinch gestures. The mira.mt abstrations are useful for processing and filtering the messages output by mira.multitouch.
