public class GestureEvent
extends InputEvent
```
An event indicating gesture input. Gestures are typically caused by direct (touch screen) or indirect (track pad) touch events.
Delivery of gestures is dependent on the capabilities of the underlying platform and connected input devices. For instance on a PC with mouse and keyboard there is no way of producing a rotating gesture.

```
public final double getSceneX()
```
    Gets the horizontal position of the event relative to the origin of the Scene that contains the event's source. If the node is not in a Scene, then the value is relative to the boundsInParent of the root-most parent of the event's node.

```
    Indicates whether this gesture is caused by a direct or indirect input device.

With indirect device the gestures are performed indirectly and usually mouse cursor position is used as the gesture coordinates, a typical example would be a track pad.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this event is caused by a direct input device
  - isInertia
```
public boolean isInertia()
```
    Indicates if this event represents an inertia of an already finished gesture.

    Returns information about the pick.
    
    Returns:
    
    new PickResult object that contains information about the pick

    JavaFX 8.0
  - isShortcutDown
```
public final boolean isShortcutDown()
```
    Indicates whether or not the host platform common shortcut modifier is down on this event. This common shortcut modifier is a modifier key which is used commonly in shortcuts on the host platform. It is for example control on Windows and meta (command key) on Mac.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the shortcut modifier is down, false otherwise
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of this GestureEvent object.
