# Swipe Pad
## Description
A control type that performs actions or responds based on the swipe direction, typically involving the rapid movement of one or more fingers across the touchable area.
## Common
* `Continuous` : Whether swipe are performed continuously or triggered only once per swipe, allowing uninterrupted swiping without releasing.
{% hint style="info" %}
When `Continuous` is true, swipe validation happens when you stop moving your finger, without needing to lift it.
{% endhint %}
## Directions
* `Input Simulate` : The Button control path for simulating input on swipe.
* `Required Fingers` : The number of fingers required to perform a given swipe direction.
* `Swipe ID` : A unique identifier for distinguishing different swipes.
* `Angle` : Defines the direction of the swipe based on angle.
* `Arc` : Specifies the angular range around the swipe angle.
## Validation
The touch points will be sampled and recorded upon dragging. When release, an imaginary straight line is drawn between the first and last sample points. and before confirming a swipe, it must satisfy the following evaluation criteria:
* `Min Swipe Distance`: The minimum distance of the straight line to be consider as a swipe.
* `Max Swipe Duration`: The maximum allowed time (in ms) to complete the swipe gesture.
* `Min Sample Distance`: The minimum required distance between consecutive sampled points.
* `Max Sample Deviation`: The maximum allowable distance of any sampled point from the straight line.
