# How to work with swipe keywords

There are four swipe keywords made available.

- swipeUp
- swipeDown
- swipeLeft
- swipeRight

There are four different parameters used in each swipe keyword :

1. **X Offset** : Used to provide x-axis of mobile screen
2. **Y Offset** : Used to provide y-axis of mobile screen
3. **Distance** : Use to provide the distance from where swipe will start
4. **Wait Time**: Used to provide the wait time between touch and swipe that will maintain the speed of swipe
   Suppose you provide the wait time as 5 seconds, the speed of the swipe will be according to the time provided.
   The more the wait, the slower will be the swipe speed.

  1- The default wait time is 0.5 seconds.
2- X-offset start from left side and Y-Offset start from top of the screen
3- If no values are entered in the X offset, Y offset and Distance parameters, 50% that is center of the screen will be considered as the default value.

1. **swipeUp**

   If you wish to swipeUp, the X Offset will remain constant and mainly the Y offset value will change. Considering top left corner to be (0,0), if you move down from the top left corner, the value of Y keeps increasing & if you move up, the value of Y keeps decreasing.So, in order to swipeUp, we are moving from a higher value of Y to a lower value of Y. The higher value of Y will be entered in ***Y offset*** parameter & the lower value of Y will be entered in the ***Distance***parameter.Example :
   X offset (%) : 50 (The value should be the percentage of block or element present in screen where we want to scroll)
   Y offset (%) : 80
   Distance (%) : 10
   Wait Time (seconds) : 1 (Default value is 0.5 that is half second, we can provide any value starting from 0.1)

2. **swipeDown**

   If you wish to swipeDown, the X Offset will remain constant and mainly the Y offset value will change. Considering top left corner to be (0,0), if you move down from the top left corner, the value of Y keeps increasing & if you move up, the value of Y keeps decreasing.So, in order to swipeDown, we are moving from a lower value of Y to a higher value of Y. The lower value of Y will be entered in ***Y offset*** parameter & the higher value of Y will be entered in the ***Distance***parameter.Example :
   X offset (%) : The value should be the percentage of block or element present in screen where we want to scroll
   Y offset (%) : 10
   Distance (%) : 80
   Wait Time (seconds) : 1 (Default value is 0.5 that is half second, we can provide any value starting from 0.1)

3. **swipeLeft**

   If you wish to swipeLeft, the Y Offset will remain constant and mainly the X offset value will change. Considering top left corner to be (0,0), if you move right from the top left corner, the value of X keeps increasing & if you move left, the value of Y keeps decreasing.So, in order to swipeLeft, we are moving from a higher value of X to a lower value of X. The higher value of X will be entered in ***X offset*** parameter & the lower value of X will be entered in the ***Distance***parameter.Example :
   X offset (%) : 80
   Y offset (%) : The value should be the percentage of block or element present in screen where we want to scroll
   Distance (%) : 10
   Wait Time (seconds) : 1 (Default value is 0.5 that is half second, we can provide any value starting from 0.1)

4. **swipeRight**

   If you wish to swipeRight, the Y Offset will remain constant and mainly the X offset value will change. Considering top left corner to be (0,0), if you move right from the top left corner, the value of X keeps increasing & if you move left, the value of Y keeps decreasing.So, in order to swipeRight, we are moving from a lower value of X to a higher value of X. The lower value of X will be entered in ***X offset*** parameter & the higher value of X will be entered in the ***Distance***parameter.Example :
   X offset (%) : 10
   Y offset (%) : The value should be the percentage of block or element present in screen where we want to scroll
   Distance (%) : 80
   Wait Time (seconds) : 1 (Default value is 0.5 that is half second, we can provide any value starting from 0.1)
