Pointers

Pointer devices are defined as InputDevices that track positions on a 2D surface. Three types of pointers are supported:

• Touch
• Mouse
• Pen

Controls

Each of these types implements a common set of controls. For a more detailed descriptions of these controls, refer to their scripting reference.

Control	Type	Description
position	Vector2Control	The current pointer coordinates in window space.
delta	Vector2Control	The difference in position since the last frame.
press	ButtonControl	Whether the pointer or it's primary button is pressed down.
pressure	AxisControl	Normalized pressure with which the pointer is currently pressed while in contact with the pointer surface (Only relevant for pressure sensitive devices, such as tablets and some touch screens).
radius	Vector2Control	The size of the area where the finger touches the surface. Only relevant for touch input.

Window Space

Within player code, the coordinates are in the coordinate space of the player window.

Within editor code, the coordinates are in the coordinate space of the current EditorWindow. This means that if you query Pointer.current.position in UnityEditor.EditorWindow.OnGUI, for example, the returned 2D vector will be in the coordinate space of your local GUI (same as UnityEngine.Event.mousePosition).
