# rotation

The rotation in degrees of the tablet pointing device associated with this event.

## Declaration

```swift
var rotation: Float { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Many devices do not support rotation, in which case the returned value is 0.0. This property is valid only for mouse events with subtype NSTabletPointEventSubtype and for NSTabletPoint events.
