# NSRotationGestureRecognizer

A continuous gesture recognizer that tracks two trackpad touches moving opposite each other in a circular motion.

## Declaration

```swift
class NSRotationGestureRecognizer
```

## Overview

Overview This rotation gesture implies that the underlying view should rotate in a matching direction. The gesture is recognized when the trackpad touches end. Upon creation, the gesture recognizer sets the value of the delaysRotationEvents property to true.
