GestDefLS : A Gesture Definition Language in Swift
type: CreativeWork
description: The application programming interfaces supplied by Apple for developing applications in the Swift programming language on iOS devices provide limited support when it comes to declaring gesture recognizers outside of those simple ones currently provided. GestDefLS seeks to provide the service of allowing the developer to define custom, single- or multi-touch gesture recognizers. The language has the benefits of providing a concise, easy-to-understand language for declaring gestures, in addition to being readily compatible within Apple's Swift programming language. Furthermore, the language provides a higher level of modularity in terms of separating gesture recognition code from code pertaining to what the application should actually accomplish.
