Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Touch gesture | Choose touch gesture when the design question is the recognition, feedback, fallback, and cancellation behavior of touch input itself. | The gesture starts only from the intended target or gesture region, not from unrelated content. | Supports platform gesture conventions, common gesture detection, multi-touch, drag, scale, touch dispatch, and the warning not to depend on gestures for basic behavior. |
