PointerEvent.pressure
The normalized pressure of the pointer input in the range of 0 to 1, where 0 and 1 represent the minimum and maximum pressure the hardware is capable of detecting, respectively. For hardware that does not support pressure, including but not limited to mouse, the value MUST be 0.5 when the pointer is active and 0 otherwise.
This property is Read only .
Syntax
var pressure = pointerEvent.pressure;
Return value
pressure
- The amount of pressure applied to the pointer.
Example
This example illustrates using the pressure
property.
When a pointerdown
event is fired, different functions are called depending on the value of the event's pressure
property.
someElement.addEventListener('pointerdown', function(ev) { if (ev.pressure == 0) { // No pressure process_no_pressure(ev); } else if (ev.pressure == 1) { // Maximum pressure process_max_pressure(ev); } else { // Default process_pressure(ev); } }, false);
