Details

class Gdk.EventTouch

Used for touch events. type field will be one of Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_BEGIN, Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_UPDATE, Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_END or Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_CANCEL.

Touch events are grouped into sequences by means of the sequence field, which can also be obtained with Gdk.Event.get_event_sequence(). Each sequence begins with a Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_BEGIN event, followed by any number of Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_UPDATE events, and ends with a Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_END (or Gdk.EventType.TOUCH_CANCEL) event. With multitouch devices, there may be several active sequences at the same time.
