PointerEventType
PointerEventType
enum PointerEventType : Enum<PointerEventType>
Enum class representing different types of pointer events.
A PointerEvent represents some activity on an entity. This enum classifies the nature of the action taken. For example when we start hovering an entity we get a "Hover" type of event.
Notice we do not know if the intent of the user. E.g. is this to grab or select or teleport. See the SemanticType enum for the intent of the interaction.
