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.
Syntax
var tiltX = pointerEvent.tiltX;
Return value
tiltX
- The angle in degrees between the Y-Z plane of the pointer (stylus) and the screen.
The range of values is
-90
to90
, inclusive, where a positive value is a tilt to the right. For devices that do not support this property, the value is0
.
Example
This example illustrates simple accessing of the tiltX
and
tiltY
properties.
someElement.addEventListener("pointerdown", function(event) {
process_tilt(event.tiltX, event.tiltY);
}, false);
