mouse gestures

[Thomas McGrath III]

Malte,

Love this little library. Very cool.

I would like to trap the starting mouse position and finish mouse  
position to get a distance traveled. I would use this for short medium  
and long gestures.

Your library seems very responsive, I wonder if adding the distance  
would slow it down?

I made a stack that ties the mouse gesture to the backgroundColor of  
the stack and can slide colors left and right and back or up down etc.  
What fun.

Now to build one for images and to animated swiping left and  
right.......


Thank you Malte for the inspiration.
