9 Introduction
10 ------------
11
12 This is an example of keeping track of individual touches across multiple
13 [MotionEvent][1]s.
14
15 This sample uses a custom View (`TouchDisplayView`) that responds to
16 touch events and draws a colored circle for each touch point. The view holds
17 data related to a touch pointer, including its current position, pressure,
18 and its past touch history.
19
20 The View draws graphics based on data associated with each touch event to a
21 canvas. A large circle indicates the current position of a touch, while smaller
22 trailing circles represent previous positions for that touch.
23 The size of the large circle is scaled depending on the pressure of the user's
24 touch.
