This kind of event is generated by the user performing a ``pinch''
gesture by placing two fingers on a touchpad and moving them towards
or away from each other. @var{position} is a mouse position list
-(@pxref{Click Events}) detailing the position of the mouse pointer
-when the event occured, @var{dx} is the change between the horizontal
-positions of the fingers since the last event in the same sequence,
+(@pxref{Click Events}) that provides the position of the mouse pointer
+when the event occurred, @var{dx} is the change in the horizontal
+distance between the fingers since the last event in the same sequence,
@var{dy} is the vertical movement of the fingers since the last event
in the same sequence, @var{scale} is the ratio of the current distance
-between the fingers and the distance at the start of the sequence, and
-@var{angle} is the delta in degrees between the angles of the fingers
-in this event and the fingers in the last event of the same sequence.
+between the fingers and that distance at the start of the sequence, and
+@var{angle} is the angular difference in degrees between the direction
+of the line connecting the fingers in this event and the direction of
+that line in the last event of the same sequence.
All arguments after @var{position} are floating point numbers.
