Remarks

This describes the state of a UIGestureRecognizer. All of UIGestureRecognizers start in the Possible state. Once one or more touches has been received, the recognizers transition to the Began state. For one-shot patterns (like Tap), this will either transition into the Recognized state or the Failed state. For continuous gestures (like panning, pinching, rotating) the recognizer will transition to the Changed state and emit multiple calls back to the action and finally transition to either the Ended or Cancelled states.
