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