the mouse cursor moves in that same direction.

perform functions.

or open a menu. Pinching two fingers together or spreading them
apart can zoom in or out.

type of touchpad available today. These touchpads use
advanced sensor technology in order to detect and
interpret a wide range of finger movements and gestures.

to scroll through a document or web page,Some multi-
touch gesture touchpads also support three-finger swipes,
four-finger taps, and other complex gestures.
