Touch.rotationAngle

Returns the rotation angle, in degrees, of the contact area ellipse defined by Touch.radiusX and Touch.radiusY. The value may be between 0 and 90. Together, these three values describe an ellipse that approximates the size and shape of the area of contact between the user and the screen. This may be a relatively large ellipse representing the contact between a fingertip and the screen or a small area representing the tip of a stylus, for example.

Syntax

Return value

angle

The number of degrees of rotation to apply to the described ellipse to align with the contact area between the user and the touch surface.
