— optional and defaulting to0
, of typelong
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.pointerId
.width
— optional and defaulting to1
, of typedouble
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.width
.height
— optional and defaulting to1
, of typedouble
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.height
.pressure
— optional and defaulting to0
, of typefloat
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.pressure
.tangentialPressure
— optional and defaulting to0
, of typefloat
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.tangentialPressure
.tiltX
— optional and defaulting to0
, of typelong
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.tiltX
.tiltY
— optional and defaulting to0
, of typelong
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.tiltY
.twist

, of typeDOMString
, that sets the value of the instance'sPointerEvent.pointerType
.isPrimary
