[Interest] simulating pinch

[Christopher Probst]

Hi Shawn,

Based on the example you provided I wrote this QML code and wanted to see
if this does indeed simulate a pinch.

   //pinchArea is PinchArea QML type

   var pinchSequence = touchEvent( pinchArea );

      //first finger

   pinchSequence.press(0, pinchArea, 80, 80)

   pinchSequence.commit();


   pinchSequence.stationary(0)


   //second finger

   pinchSequence.press(1, pinchArea, 100, 100);

   pinchSequence.commit();

   //outward pinch or zoom

  pinchSequence.move(0, pinchArea, 70, 70);

  pinchSequence.move(1, pinchArea, 110, 110);

  pinchSequence.commit();
