Abstract
A computerized device can comprise a touch-enabled surface and a data processing hardware element configured by a gesture input engine to recognize an input gesture using data from the touch-enabled surface. A parameter value can be set based on determining a path traversed by the input gesture. The data processing element can comprise a processor and the gesture input engine can comprise program logic in a memory device and/or the engine may be implemented using hardware logic. Regardless, the radial input gesture can be used to set one or more parameter values without use of a direct mapping of interface coordinates to parameter values. A method can comprise tracking a plurality of input points, identifying a path defined by the plurality of input points, identifying a closed curve including the path, determining a percentage of the curve traversed by the path, and setting a parameter value based on the percentage.
