wl_pointer_listener.axis_source

axis source event

Source information for scroll and other axes.

This event does not occur on its own. It is sent before a wl_pointer.frame event and carries the source information for all events within that frame.

The source specifies how this event was generated. If the source is wl_pointer.axis_source.finger, a wl_pointer.axis_stop event will be sent when the user lifts the finger off the device.

If the source is wl_pointer axis_source.wheel or wl_pointer.axis_source.continuous, a wl_pointer.axis_stop event may or may not be sent. Whether a compositor sends an axis_stop event for these sources is hardware-specific and implementation-dependent; clients must not rely on receiving an axis_stop event for these scroll sources and should treat scroll sequences from these scroll sources as unterminated by default.

This event is optional. If the source is unknown for a particular axis event sequence, no event is sent. Only one wl_pointer.axis_source event is permitted per frame.

The order of wl_pointer.axis_discrete and wl_pointer.axis_source is not guaranteed.
