Represents a touch event on the screen.

Remarks
This object encapsulates a touch or a finger movement on the screen.
The UITouch event is typically available from the NSSet passed to the Touch methods and also from the UIEvent instance that is passed to those methods.
- TouchesBegan(NSSet, UIEvent): sent when one or more fingers touch the screen. :
- TouchesMoved(NSSet, UIEvent): sent when one or more fingers move. :
- TouchesEnded(NSSet, UIEvent): sent when one or more fingers are lifted from the screen. :
- TouchesCancelled(NSSet, UIEvent): sent when the touch is cancelled by the system (for example if the phone interrupts your application). :
UIViews by default only handle a single touch event at once. If you want your view to handle multiple touches, you must set the MultipleTouchEnabled to true.
iOS creates a UIEvent object any time a finger touches the screen, moves or is removed from the screen. The UIEvent encapsulates all of the touches that are taking place on the screen at this point, even those that do not belong to this view. In addition to the UIEvent, there is an NSSet containing UITouch objects that represent the state of each finger on the screen for this particular view.
