Reading gestures from terminal Ubuntu 18 on Jetson Xavier #278

Hi, I 'm looking for a way to read my touch input from terminal, note that I'm not using a trackpad, I'm using a touch screen. My eventual goal is to simulate pinch gesture inside an OpenCV applicaton where I can perform pinch to zoom. The way I'm thinking of doing it is if I can find out what command is being run, I'd run that same command inside my application. I'm using the default config file. Pinch works on Chrome, 3-4 finger gestures work as well. libinput gestures -d command doesn't output any actions :/

Here is some other info that may be helpful: Device: Jetson Xavier on Ubuntu 18 Touch screen: Waveshare 13.3" LCD panel libinput-gestures -l output: libinput-gestures: session unity+x11 on Linux-4.9.140-tegra-aarch64-with-Ubuntu-18.04-bionic, python 3.6.9, libinput 1.10.4 /usr/bin/libinput-gestures: hash 9f979356e75d2fde95745b2036f97f24 Gestures configured in ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf: swipe up _internal ws_up swipe down _internal ws_down swipe left xdotool key alt+Right swipe right xdotool key alt+Left pinch in xdotool key super+s pinch out xdotool key super+s libinput-gestures: device /dev/input/by-path/platform-3610000.xhci-usb-0:2.2:1.1-event-mouse(event5): ILITEK Multi-Touch-V3000

I'm new to this stuff so really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Note the opening paragraph of the libinput documentation. Libinput does not support gestures on touchscreens so this utility is not relevant to what you want sorry.
