Description

Manager class with API for recognizing user gestures.

GestureRecognizer performs only the minimal disambiguation between the set of gestures that you request. For example, if you request just Tap, the user may hold their finger down as long as they like and a Tap will still occur when the user releases their finger. For more details on the types of gestures available see GestureSettings.

GestureRecognizers will only receive events after StartCapturingGestures is called. StopCapturingGestures can be called again to stop events. This allows for GestureRecognizer to be activated and deactivated on demand such as when a users gaze moves over and away from an object.

Constructors
