10Introduction
11------------
12
13This is an example of keeping track of individual touches across multiple
14[MotionEvent][1]s.
15
16This sample uses a custom View (`TouchDisplayView`) that responds to
17touch events and draws a colored circle for each touch point. The view holds
18data related to a touch pointer, including its current position, pressure,
19and its past touch history.
20
21The View draws graphics based on data associated with each touch event to a
22canvas. A large circle indicates the current position of a touch, while smaller
23trailing circles represent previous positions for that touch.
24The size of the large circle is scaled depending on the pressure of the user's
25touch.
