# 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures
|
|
|
|
- Level: A
|
|
- Guideline: 2.5 Input Modalities
|
|
- Principle: 2 Operable
|
|
|
|
## What it is
|
|
|
|
All functionality that uses multipoint or path-based gestures for operation can be operated with a single pointer without a path-based gesture, unless a multipoint or path-based gesture is essential.
|
|
|
|
## How to test
|
|
|
|
- Check: All functionality that uses multipoint or path-based gestures for operation can be operated with a single pointer without a path-based gesture, unless a multipoint or path-based gesture is essential.
|
|
- Use the sufficient techniques below as acceptable methods when applicable.
|
|
- Confirm none of the common failures apply.
|
|
|
|
## Sufficient techniques (W3C)
|
|
|
|
- G215: Providing controls to achieve the same result as path based or multipoint gestures
|
|
- G216: Providing single point activation for a control slider
|
|
|
|
## Common failures (W3C)
|
|
|
|
- F105: Failure of Success Criterion 2.5.1 due to providing functionality via a path-based gesture without simple pointer alternative
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Note: This requirement applies to web content that interprets pointer actions (i.e., this does not apply to actions that are required to operate the user agent or assistive technology).
