Gtk.EventControllerMotion
Description: Reference for Gtk.EventControllerMotion

### Class

# GtkEventControllerMotion

#### Description [src]

    final class Gtk.EventControllerMotion : Gtk.EventController
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

Tracks the pointer position.

The event controller offers `GtkEventControllerMotion::enter` and `GtkEventControllerMotion::leave` signals, as well as `GtkEventControllerMotion:is-pointer` and `GtkEventControllerMotion:contains-pointer` properties which are updated to reflect changes in the pointer position as it moves over the widget.
