# Sensor Gestures C++ Overview

## Using QtSensorGestures

With the Sensor Gestures classes, you are able to easily utilize device gesturing using sensors, such as the accelerometer and proximity.

A list of currently supported sensor gestures and their descriptions can be found here: Qt Sensor Gestures

Using `QtSensorGestures` is easy. There are two main classes you will need to use:

- QSensorGestureManager: can be used for determining which sensor gestures are available.
- QSensorGesture : for connecting the sensor gesture signals.

    // Create a QSensorGestureManager
        QSensorGestureManager gestureManager;

    // Get a list of known recognizers
        QStringList recognizersList = gestureManager.gestureIds();

    // Create a QSensorGeture object for each of those gesture recognizers
            QSensorGesture *gesture = new QSensorGesture( gestureManager.gestureIds(), this);
    // Connect the known signals up.
            connect(gesture, SIGNAL(detected(QString)), this, SLOT(gestureDetected(QString)));

More information about the sensor gesture recognizers can be found in QtSensorGestures Plugins.

## Main Classes

The primary classes that make up the QtSensorGestures API:

QSensorGesture | Represents one or more sensor gesture recognizers
QSensorGestureManager | Manages sensor gestures, registers and creates sensor gesture plugins

The primary classes that make up the `QtSensorGesturesRecognizers` API:

QSensorGesturePluginInterface | The pure virtual interface to sensor gesture plugins
QSensorGestureRecognizer | The base class for a sensor gesture recognizer
