Touchscreen

Multi-touch tracking and paint mode to verify touch coverage and responsiveness.

Overview

Touchscreen is a full-screen tool that shows where your touches are being detected. It's useful for spotting dead zones, dropped drags, or phantom touches.

Touchscreen starts in a full-screen view.
Tracking mode: crosshairs and per-touch info labels.
Use the gear button to open the menu.
Paint mode: draw strokes to verify continuous tracking.

Modes

Touchscreen has two modes:

  • Tracking: shows active touch points with crosshairs and details.
  • Painting: draws stroke paths so you can verify continuous input.

Tracking Mode

Each active touch shows:

  • Crosshairs at the touch location
  • X/Y coordinates
  • Pressure/force (when available)
  • Azimuth angle (when available)
  • Touch type (Finger / Pencil / etc.)

Paint Mode

In Paint Mode, touches draw white strokes on a black background. This makes it easy to check:

  • Continuous drags (no gaps)
  • Edge tracking (corners and bezels)
  • Multi-touch behavior

Controls Menu

Tap the gear button to open the menu:

  • Paint Mode / Track Mode: switch modes.
  • Clear: clears drawing (only enabled in Paint Mode).
  • Close: exits the tool.

The gear button can move to a different corner if you touch near it (so it stays easy to tap).

Tips

  • Remove gloves and clean the screen for more consistent results.
  • If you use a screen protector or thick case, test with and without it.

Notes And Limitations

  • Pressure/angle values depend on hardware and input type (for example, Apple Pencil).
