* <title>Creating Gesture actions</title>
* <para>A #ClutterGestureAction provides four separate states that can be
* used to recognize or ignore gestures when writing a new action class:</para>
* <informalexample><programlisting><![CDATA[
Prepare -> Cancel
Prepare -> Begin -> Cancel
Prepare -> Begin -> End
Prepare -> Begin -> Progress -> Cancel
Prepare -> Begin -> Progress -> End
* ]]>
* <para>Each #ClutterGestureAction starts in the "prepare" state, and calls
* the #ClutterGestureActionClass.gesture_prepare() virtual function; this
* state can be used to reset the internal state of a #ClutterGestureAction
* subclass, but it can also immediately cancel a gesture without going
* through the rest of the states.</para>
* <para>The "begin" state follows the "prepare" state, and calls the
* #ClutterGestureActionClass.gesture_begin() virtual function. This state
* signals the start of a gesture recognizing process. From the "begin" state
* the gesture recognition process can successfully end, by going to the
* "end" state; it can continue in the "progress" state, in case of a
* continuous gesture; or it can be terminated, by moving to the "cancel"
* state.</para>
* <para>In case of continuous gestures, the #ClutterGestureAction will use
* the "progress" state, calling the #ClutterGestureActionClass.gesture_progress()
* virtual function; the "progress" state will continue until the end of the
* gesture, in which case the "end" state will be reached, or until the
* gesture is cancelled, in which case the "cancel" gesture will be used
* instead.</para>
