Clutter Gesture

Brief Introduction

Clutter gesture implements a gesture-recognition framework on top of Clutter, which has multi-point input events as input, then, after matching a pre-defined gesture, emits the gesture events to the applications.

Scope

• Implement a flexible gesture-recognition framework to make it adopt various gesture-recognition algorithms.
• Provide a set of gesture API for programmers to develop gesture-aware applications.
• Support 5 single-touch gestures: slide up, slide down, slide left, slide right, and touch&hold.
• Support pinch/rotate multi-touch gestures.

Trend
The current released version supports 5 single-touch and 2 multi-touch gestures as described in above.
