Touch Events Interface Request

[jmark1m]

I'm looking for SFML to support multi touch via a touch events interface (similar to SDL finger / touch events).  Is there any status on this?  Specifically I'm looking for multitouch under X11 linux.

Does anyone have any suggestions that would allow me to use SFML and also use a multi touch interface?  I was looking at OIS library but it seems a bit dead/out of date.  I'm too invested in SFML to use SDL so I am a bit stuck at the moment.

Thanks for listening.

SFML in its next version 2.2 will support touchevents and has a touch interface (which supports multitouch) (Offtopic also android/iOS | opengl ES support). It's currently in the testing phase and has some issues. So it will be hopefully released within the next months (just my guess, nothing official )

You can already have a look at it, there's a special branch for iOS and Android on GitHub.

But what about touch event on Windows, MacOS and Linux ?

They will be implemented later. Probably after SFML 2.2 is released.

It may be out of scope for SFML but what about TUIO support (an open framework for multitouch applications)?

I know it's not OS based and requires a thread  to manage touches (client/server based framework), but it is used by many multitouch screens/hardware and it may be cool to abstract each well-known touches system into a single interface.

Could Would you consider some of the most desirable touch gestures being apart of SFML?

Yes, we'll probably add support for standard gestures in a future version.
