NAME

libinput−analyze−per−slot−delta − analyze the per-event delta movement for touch slots

SYNOPSIS

libinput analyze per-slot-delta [−−help] [options] recording.yml

DESCRIPTION

The libinput analyze per−slot−delta tool analyzes a recording made with libinput record and prints the delta movement per touch slot.

This is a debugging tool only, its output may change at any time. Do not rely on the output.

OPTIONS

−−help

Print help

−−ignore-below=<units or mm>

Ignore any movement below the given threshold. The threshold is in mm if −−use-mm is selected or in device units otherwise.

−−threshold=<units or mm>

Color any movement above this threshold in red. The threshold is in mm if −−use-mm is selected or in device units otherwise.

−−use-mm

Print data in mm instead of device units

−−use-st

Use the single-touch ABS_X/ABS_Y instead of the multitouch axes

−−use-absolute

Print absolute coordinates, not deltas

OUTPUT

An example output for a single finger touch on a touchpad supporting two slots is below. This output is with the use of the --use-mm flag.

0.000000 +0ms TOU: ++++++ | ************* |
0.021900 +21ms TOU: ââ +1.10/+0.14 | ************* |
0.033468 +11ms TOU: ââ +1.15/+0.19 | ************* |
0.043856 +10ms TOU: ââ +1.76/+0.22 | ************* |
0.053237 +9ms TOU: ââ +2.20/+0.19 | ************* |

The entry ++++++ indicates a finger has been put down, ------ indicates the finger has lifted. The left-most column is the absolute timestamp in seconds.microseconds followed by the relative time of the event to the previous event.

The word TOU in this example represents BTN_TOUCH, similar abbreviations exist for BTN_TOOL_DOUBLETAP, BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP, BTN_TOOL_QUADTAP, and BTN_TOOL_QUINTTAP.

The arrows indicate the approximate direction on a 16-point compass, in this example EastSouthEast.

Each multitouch slot supported by the hardware has one column, where the column shows asterisk ******** no finger is down for that slot. Where the column shows spaces only, a finger is down but no data is currently available.

In the above example, the third events occurs ˜33ms into the recording, is 11ms after the previous event and has an east south-east direction. The movement for this event was x: 1.15 and y: 0.19 mm. A second finger is not currently down.
