jGestures

A jQuery plugin that enables you to add gesture events such as 'pinch', 'rotate', 'swipe', 'tap' and 'orientationchange' just like native jQuery events. Includes event substitution: a "tapone" event can be triggered by "clicking", a "swipe" by performing a swipe-ish mousegesture.

Example

jQuery('#swipe').bind('swipeone',eventHandler);

Available events:

orientationchange
The device is turned clockwise or counterclockwise. This event is triggered
by the device and might use an internal gyroscope.

pinch
Is triggered during a pinch gesture (two fingers moving away from or
towards each other).

rotate
Is triggered during a rotation gesture (two fingers rotating clockwise
or counterclockwise).

swipemove
Is triggered during a swipe move gesture (finger(s) being moved around
the device, e.g. dragging)

swipeone
Is triggered after a swipe move gesture with one touchpoint (one finger
was moved around the device)

swipetwo
Is triggered after a swipe move gesture with two touchpoints (two fingers
were moved around the device)

swipethree
Is triggered after a swipe move gesture with three touchpoints (three
fingers were moved around the device)

swipefour
Is triggered after a swipe move gesture with four touchpoints (four
fingers were moved around the device)
