Examples

The following is an example of a pointer event handler that outputs the value of the tiltX property to a text field, txtTiltX.

function getTiltX(evt){
var theform=document.forms.frmOutput;
theform.txtTiltX.value=evt.tiltX;
}

Usage

 A positive tiltX is to the right. tiltX can be used along with tiltY to represent the tilt away from the normal of a transducer with the digitizer. For devices that do not report tilt, the value must be 0.
