Common gesture and touch descriptions

Pan
Move a finger left-to-right or right-to-left. Some devices require two fingers to pan.

Rotate
Touch two fingers down, then move them around in a circle (as if they’re both simultaneously tracing an imaginary circle on a surface). The pivot point is set at the midpoint between the two finger touch points.

Swipe
Move three fingers left-to-right or right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top, quickly.

Zoom
Touch two fingers down, then move them away from each other to zoom in and toward each other to zoom out.

Press-and-tap
Move or press one finger, then tap the surface with another.
