PointerEvent: twist property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2020.
The twist read-only property of the PointerEvent interface represents the clockwise rotation of the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) around its major axis, in degrees.
Value
A long value representing the amount of twist, in degrees, applied to the transducer (pointer). The value is in the range 0 to 359, inclusive. For devices that do not report twist, the value is 0.
Examples
When a pointerdown event is fired, different functions are called depending on the value of the event's twist property.
js
someElement.addEventListener("pointerdown", (event) => { if (event.twist === 0) { // No twist process_no_twist(event); } else { // Default process_twist(event); } }); Specifications
