<p>Multi-touch is an enhancement to the touch screen, which provides the user

with the ability to apply elaborate finger gestures onto the display as commands

to the device.</p>

<p>Multi-touch is implemented based on the size and type of interfaces. When

a finger or an object touches the display causing the light to scatter, the

reflection is caught by the sensors. The response for the touch is sent back

based on the type of reflection measured.</p>

<p>Only the devices with multi-touch support have 'Pinch Stroke' as a touch

stroke.</p>

<section id="GUID-7AECBBDD-8583-4555-A2F3-83404CBC64C1"><title>Pinch Stroke</title>Pinch

stroke is invoked by two separate but simultaneously active touch down events

and dragging movements along the line that goes through both touch down points.

On release, the pinch in or pinch out state is maintained. Pinch stroke can

be utilized, for example, in Photo viewer to zoom in and zoom out.<fig id="GUID-93C93C51-1F0D-4ADE-8FEC-3223B9C9F60B">
