@Entry
@Component
struct SwipeGestureExample {
  @State rotateAngle: number = 0
  @State speed: number = 1

  build() {
    Column() {
      Column() {
        Text("SwipeGesture speed\n" + this.speed)
        Text("SwipeGesture angle\n" + this.rotateAngle)
      }
      .border({ width: 3 })
      .width(300)
      .height(200)
      .margin(100)
      .rotate({ angle: this.rotateAngle })
      // The gesture event is triggered by swiping vertically with one finger.
      .gesture(
      SwipeGesture({ direction: SwipeDirection.Vertical })
        .onAction((event: GestureEvent) => {
          this.speed = event.speed
          this.rotateAngle = event.angle
