# ManipulationEvents

Events that occur while a person manipulates an entity.

## Declaration

```swift
enum ManipulationEvents
```

## Overview

Overview You can subscribe to these events using subscribe(to:on:_:). For example, you can change the color of an entity’s material when the manipulation gesture begins and ends. _ = content.subscribe(to: ManipulationEvents.WillBegin.self) { event in     event.entity.components[ModelComponent.self]?.materials[0] = SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, isMetallic: false) } _ = content.subscribe(to: ManipulationEvents.WillEnd.self)  { event in     event.entity.components[ModelComponent.self]?.materials[0] = SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: false) }
