Element: pointerrawupdate event

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Secure context: This feature is available only insecure contexts (HTTPS), in some or allsupporting browsers.

Thepointerrawupdate event is fired when a pointer changes any properties that don't firepointerdown orpointerup events.Seepointermove for a list of these properties.

Thepointerrawupdate event may have coalesced events if there is already anotherpointerrawupdate event with the same pointer ID that hasn't been dispatched in the event loop.For information on coalesced events, see thePointerEvent.getCoalescedEvents() documentation.

pointerrawupdate is intended for applications that require high-precision input handling and cannot achieve smooth interaction using coalescedpointermove events alone.However, because listening topointerrawupdate events can affect performance, you should add these listeners only if your JavaScript needs high-frequency events and can handle them as quickly as they are dispatched.For most use cases, other pointer event types should suffice.

This eventbubbles and iscomposed, but is notcancelable and has no default action.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods likeaddEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("pointerrawupdate", (event) => { })onpointerrawupdate = (event) => { }

Event type

APointerEvent. Inherits fromEvent.

Event properties

This interface inherits properties fromMouseEvent andEvent.

PointerEvent.altitudeAngleRead onlyExperimental: Represents the angle between a transducer (a pointer or stylus) axis and the X-Y plane of a device screen.
PointerEvent.azimuthAngleRead onlyExperimental: Represents the angle between the Y-Z plane and the plane containing both the transducer (a pointer or stylus) axis and the Y axis.
PointerEvent.persistentDeviceIdRead onlyExperimental: A unique identifier for the pointing device generating thePointerEvent.
PointerEvent.pointerIdRead only: A unique identifier for the pointer causing the event.
PointerEvent.widthRead only: The width (magnitude on the X axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.heightRead only: The height (magnitude on the Y axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.pressureRead only: The normalized pressure of the pointer input in the range0 to1, where0 and1 represent the minimum and maximum pressure the hardware is capable of detecting, respectively.
PointerEvent.tangentialPressureRead only: The normalized tangential pressure of the pointer input (also known as barrel pressure orcylinder stress) in the range-1 to1, where0 is the neutral position of the control.
PointerEvent.tiltXRead only: The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of-90 to90) between the Y–Z plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) axis and the Y axis.
PointerEvent.tiltYRead only: The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of-90 to90) between the X–Z plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) axis and the X axis.
PointerEvent.twistRead only: The clockwise rotation of the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) around its major axis in degrees, with a value in the range0 to359.
PointerEvent.pointerTypeRead only: Indicates the device type that caused the event (mouse, pen, touch, etc.).
PointerEvent.isPrimaryRead only: Indicates if the pointer represents the primary pointer of this pointer type.

Example

addEventListener("pointerrawupdate", (event) => {  if (event.getCoalescedEvents && event.getCoalescedEvents().length > 1) {    console.log("Coalesced events:", event.getCoalescedEvents().length);    for (let coalescedEvent of event.getCoalescedEvents()) {      // Do something with the coalesced events.    }  } else {    // Do something with the event.    console.log("Raw event", event);  }});
