PointerEvent class abstract

Base class for touch, stylus, or mouse events.

Pointer events operate in the coordinate space of the screen, scaled to logical pixels. Logical pixels approximate a grid with about 38 pixels per centimeter, or 96 pixels per inch.

This allows gestures to be recognized independent of the precise hardware characteristics of the device. In particular, features such as touch slop (see kTouchSlop) can be defined in terms of roughly physical lengths so that the user can shift their finger by the same distance on a high-density display as on a low-resolution device.

For similar reasons, pointer events are not affected by any transforms in the rendering layer. This means that deltas may need to be scaled before being applied to movement within the rendering. For example, if a scrolling list is shown scaled by 2x, the pointer deltas will have to be scaled by the inverse amount if the list is to appear to scroll with the user's finger.

Abstract const constructor. This constructor enables subclasses to provide const constructors so that they can be used in const expressions.
