Touch events, such as tap, double tap, touch down, and touch up are defined in the TouchType enumeration. Other touch parameters, defined as touch arguments in the TouchArgs class, can for example, count how many fingers are touching the screen for a particular gesture. If there is more than a single touch point (TouchPointsCount property), the touch event is defined as a manipulation event.

The GestureDirection enum defines if the user is swiping up, down, left, or right.
