PointerEvent: tiltX property
The tiltX read-only property of the
PointerEvent interface is the angle (in degrees) between the Y-Z
plane of the pointer and the screen. This property is typically only useful for a
pen/stylus pointer type.
For an illustration of this property see Figure 2 in the specification.
Value
The angle in degrees between the Y-Z plane of the pointer (stylus) and the screen. The range of values is -90 to 90, inclusive, where a positive value is a tilt to the right. For devices that do not support this property, the value is 0.
Examples
This example illustrates simple accessing of the tiltX and
tiltY properties.
js
someElement.addEventListener(
"pointerdown",
(event) => {
process_tilt(event.tiltX, event.tiltY);
},
false,
);
