Interface
Common
```kotlin
@JvmDefaultWithCompatibility
interface PointerInputScope : Density
```
Receiver scope for `Modifier.pointerInput` that permits
`handling pointer input`.
## Properties
Common
```kotlin
val size: IntSize
```
The measured size of the pointer input region. Input events will be reported with a
coordinate space of (0, 0) to (size.width, size,height) as the input region, with (0, 0)
indicating the upper left corner.
Common
```kotlin
val extendedTouchPadding: Size
```
The additional space applied to each side of the layout area when the layout is smaller than
`ViewConfiguration.minimumTouchTargetSize`.
Common
```kotlin
val viewConfiguration: ViewConfiguration
```
The `ViewConfiguration` used to tune gesture detectors.
Common
```kotlin
@JsName("varinterceptOutOfBoundsChildEvents")
var interceptOutOfBoundsChildEvents: Boolean
```
Intercept pointer input that children receive even if the pointer is out of bounds.
If `true`, and a child has been moved out of this layout and receives an event, this will
receive that event. If `false`, a child receiving pointer input outside of the bounds of this
layout will not trigger any events in this.
## Functions
```kotlin
suspend fun awaitPointerEventScope(block: suspend AwaitPointerEventScope.() -> R): R
```
Suspend and install a pointer input `block` that can await input events and respond to them
immediately. A call to `awaitPointerEventScope` will resume with `block`'s result after it
completes.
More than one `awaitPointerEventScope` can run concurrently in the same `PointerInputScope`
by using `kotlinx.coroutines.launch`. `block`s are dispatched to in the order in which they
were installed.
