PointerEvent.tiltX
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.
someElement.addEventListener("pointerdown", function(event) {
process_tilt(event.tiltX, event.tiltY);
}, false);
