    Description

      I would have expected the documentation for gestures to mention what devices are supported and how to do the gestures on those platforms. I could not find this documentation anywhere.

      I started looking here:

      http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/gestures-overview.html

      Here's a partial list of what's supported or not, based on my testing using the "imagegestures" example included in Qt:

      Windows 7:
      Mouse: Gestures not supported
      Mac:
      Mouse: Gestures not supported
      Multi-touch trackpad:
      QSwipeGesture: Need to use 3 fingers to swipe (platform standard), not the 1 finger as gesture picture here suggests: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qswipegesture.html#details
      QPinchGesture: supported as described
      QPanGesture: does not work with 1 finger as gesture picture suggests – unknown if it works or not: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qpangesture.html#details
      Linux:
      Mouse: Gestures not supported
      Single-touch touchscreen: Gestures not supported

      Since the majority of input devices are not supported and the documentation does not mention which devices are supported, I believe the documentation should be revised and have some sort of table like the above – preferably fleshed out by knowledgeable developers rather than me. Thanks for your help!
