                      Gesture Action Behaviors

                      Transform Gesture

                      Use the transform gesture action to apply the transformation of a transform gesture event (pan, pinch and rotate) to a node. You can use this behavior as an action or directly without an event handler. This behavior is available for 2D scenes only.

                      Pan

                      If you touch the Render Node with one finger, the content that you have touched will follow your finger. If you touch it with two fingers the point of the content that hits the center between your fingers will follow the center between your fingers.

                      • Use the Maximum/Minimum properties for X/Y to limit the movement of the position to a certain area.
                      • Use the Pan mode selector to limit the transformation to X or Y axis.
                      • Deactivate the Pan to disallow any position change.

                      Pinch

                      If you pinch/stretch the content with your fingers the content will be scaled down/up.

                      • Use the Maximum/Minimum properties to limit the absolute scale of the node.
                      • Use the Pinch mode selector to either limit the scaling to X or Y axis or to switch to non-uniform scaling where both axis are scaled individually.
                      • Deactivate the Pinch to disallow any scale change.

                      Rotate

                      If you touch the content with two fingers and drag them around the rotation change of the line between your fingers will be applied on the content.

                      • Use the Maximum/Minimum properties to limit the absolute scale of the node.
                      • Use the Pinch mode selector to either limit the scaling to X or Y axis or to switch to none uniform scaling where both axis are scaled individually.

                      Only if all transformations are allowed the content is able to follow your fingers. Otherwise there may be a displacement that matches the configuration but not the finger position (e.g. if the pan/scale is locked to an axis or Rotation is disabled but scale is still set to uniform scale). The default values are chosen to most fit the common use cases (e.g. it is more likely that uniform scale is required than a non-uniform scale).
