Jestur is a simple gesture recognition module for Python.

For more information, visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/jestur

What's New in 0.2b
==================

* I've replaced the cpu consuming neural network code with a faster,
dodgier pattern matching algorithm.
* User's can easily add their own custom gestures.
* Removed the dependency on the pygame event queue.

What is Jestur?
================

Jestur is a set of simple classes which provide gesture recognition
facilities to Python. It works by capturing consecutive (x,y)
co-ordinates, and normalizing them into mouse movement directions,
which it then compares to a lookup of gesture patterns using a
scoreboard style algorithm.

The included testjestur.py uses the pygame library to demonstrate
functionality.
