All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

RotateEvent, ScrollEvent, SwipeEvent, ZoomEvent

public class GestureEvent
extends InputEvent

An event indicating gesture input. Gestures are typically caused by direct (touch screen) or indirect (track pad) touch events.

Delivery of gestures is dependent on the capabilities of the underlying platform and connected input devices. For instance on a PC with mouse and keyboard there is no way of producing a rotating gesture.

Field Detail

ANY

public static final EventType<GestureEvent> ANY

Common supertype for all gestures.

Constructor Detail

GestureEvent

protected GestureEvent(EventType<? extends GestureEvent> eventType)

Creates a new instance of GestureEvent.

Parameters:

eventType - Type of the event

GestureEvent

protected GestureEvent(java.lang.Object source,
            EventTarget target,
            EventType<? extends GestureEvent> eventType)

Creates a new instance of GestureEvent.

Parameters:

source - Event source

target - Event target

eventType - Type of the event

Method Detail

copyFor

public Event copyFor(java.lang.Object newSource,
            EventTarget newTarget)

Description copied from class: Event

Creates and returns a copy of this event with the specified event source and target. If the source or target is set to null, it is replaced by the NULL_SOURCE_TARGET value.

Overrides:

copyFor in class Event

Parameters:

newSource - the new source of the copied event

newTarget - the new target of the copied event

Returns:

the event copy with the new source and target

getX

public final double getX()

Gets the horizontal position of the event relative to the origin of the event's source.

Returns:

the horizontal position of the event relative to the origin of the event's source.

See Also:

isDirect()

getY

public final double getY()

Gets the vertical position of the event relative to the origin of the event's source.

Returns:

the vertical position of the event relative to the origin of the event's source.

See Also:

isDirect()

getScreenX

public final double getScreenX()

Gets the absolute horizontal position of the event.

Returns:

the absolute horizontal position of the event

See Also:

isDirect()

getScreenY

public final double getScreenY()

Gets the absolute vertical position of the event.

Returns:

the absolute vertical position of the event

See Also:

isDirect()

getSceneX

public final double getSceneX()

Gets the horizontal position of the event relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the event's source. If the node is not in a Scene, then the value is relative to the boundsInParent of the root-most parent of the event's node.

Returns:

the horizontal position of the event relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the event's source

See Also:

isDirect()

getSceneY

public final double getSceneY()

Gets the vertical position of the event relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the event's source. If the node is not in a Scene, then the value is relative to the boundsInParent of the root-most parent of the event's node.

Returns:

the vertical position of the event relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the event's source

See Also:

isDirect()

isShiftDown

public final boolean isShiftDown()

Indicates whether or not the Shift modifier is down on this event.

Returns:

true if the Shift modifier is down on this event

isControlDown

public final boolean isControlDown()

Indicates whether or not the Control modifier is down on this event.

Returns:

true if the Control modifier is down on this event

isAltDown

public final boolean isAltDown()

Indicates whether or not the Alt modifier is down on this event.

Returns:

true if the Alt modifier is down on this event

isMetaDown

public final boolean isMetaDown()

Indicates whether or not the Meta modifier is down on this event.

Returns:

true if the Meta modifier is down on this event

isDirect

public final boolean isDirect()

Indicates whether this gesture is caused by a direct or indirect input device. With direct input device the gestures are performed directly at the concrete coordinates, a typical example would be a touch screen. With indirect device the gestures are performed indirectly and usually mouse cursor position is used as the gesture coordinates, a typical example would be a track pad.

Returns:

true if this event is caused by a direct input device

isInertia

public boolean isInertia()

Indicates if this event represents an inertia of an already finished gesture.

Returns:

true if this is an inertia event

isShortcutDown

public final boolean isShortcutDown()

Indicates whether or not the host platform common shortcut modifier is down on this event. This common shortcut modifier is a modifier key which is used commonly in shortcuts on the host platform. It is for example control on Windows and meta (command key) on Mac.

Returns:

true if the shortcut modifier is down, false otherwise

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this GestureEvent object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.util.EventObject

Returns:

a string representation of this GestureEvent object.
