Creating own gesture - inherit from Gesture - C++

[FR_Master]

Hi,

i want to create my own gesture. My approach is, to inherit from leap motion gesture to create my own gesture objects and to be able, to append my own gesture to the leap motion gesturelist. My question is now, is it possible and is that the rigth or a good approach. Also, i see that leap motion gesture is not an abstract class, so it is not
necessary to implement particular methods from leap motion gesture. But whats going on in the constructors of the several particular leap motion gestures ? Thx in advance.

The built-in Gesture classes are not extensible. In fact, there isn't even a way to add an individual gesture object to a GestureList object.

Thanks for the answer joe. But i have to implement an own gesture handling. My approach in that way is to make the gesture recognizing in the leap motion thread (listener class / onframe method) and the gesture processing / reaction in my main thread. For that I have to implement my own gesture list where I put in all the detected gestures (own gestures) from the certain frame through onframe method. The gesture list is accessible from both threads and locked for synchronisation. In my main thread I take all the gestures from the gesture list that refer to the current frame processed in the main thread. For that the gesture list exists of objects that are identifiable by the frame id. These objects are a superstructure to encapsulate all the gestures detected in the particular frame. The frame id is my search criterion. What you think ?

That sounds reasonable.

Please, again, why did you have to deprecate the circle gesture or the 3 other gestures? Could you, at least, publish some of the code now that gestures are deprecated to show what would be the right way to implement a gesture from your experience, given that the Leap Gesture class is not extensible??? Thank you!
