 | Key | Value |
 |:---|:---|
 | `petal` | The petal the event was detected on.  Uses the numbers printed on the PCB (1-10), rather than the `captouch` indexes (0-9). |
-| `event` | The type of gesture that was detected.  One of `touch_tip`, `touch_base`, `swipe_up`, `swipe_right`, `swipe_down`, `swipe_left`, whereas `swipe_up` always means a swipe towards the tip of the petal, and `swipe_down towards its base. |

 | `dx` | The distance between start and end of the touch event in `x` (base-to-tip) direction.  Unitless number, as returned by [captouch's `position()` function][captouch]. |
 | `dy` | The distance between start and end of the touch event in `y` (side-to-side) direction. |
 | `duration` | The duration between start and end of the touch event in `ms`. |
