PointerEvent.tiltY

The tiltY read-only property of the PointerEvent interface is the angle (in degrees) between the X-Z plane of the pointer and the screen. This property is typically only useful for a pen/stylus pointer type.

For an illustration of this property, see Figure 3 in the specification.

Syntax

var tiltY = pointerEvent.tiltY;

Return value

tiltY

The angle in degrees between the X-Z plane of the pointer (stylus) and the screen. The range of values is -90 to 90, inclusive, where a positive value is a tilt towards the user. For devices that do not support this property, the value is 0.

Example

This example illustrates simple accessing of the tiltX and tiltY properties.

someElement.addEventListener("pointerdown", function(event) {
  process_tilt(event.tiltX, event.tiltY);
}, false);
