That's exactly what I meant -- emulation. On MS-Windows, panning
generates horizontal and vertical scroll messages (as if the user used
the scroll bars), zooming generates Ctrl+mouse-wheel, taps generate
mouse clicks, pressing and holding generates a right-click mouse
event, etc. The only gesture that doesn't get any emulation is
rotation, AFAICT. See
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd940543%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
for the details. I assume X can do something similar, it would be
silly not to.
