The height
read-only property of the PointerEvent
interface represents the height of the pointer's contact geometry, along the y-axis (in CSS pixels). Depending on the source of the pointer device (for example a finger), for a given pointer, each event may produce a different value.
If the input hardware cannot report the contact geometry to the browser, the height defaults to 1
.
Syntax
var contactHeight = pointerEvent.height;
Return value
contactHeight
- The height of the event's contact area (in CSS pixels).
Example
An example of this property is included in the PointerEvent.width example.
