Touchscreen Pan Gesture on a Qt-QML application

Do you mean that you took TouchGestureViewer example from one VTK version and tried to use it in a different VTK version? You probably need to backport all related changes into your VTK version.

We use VTK in a ctkVTKAbstractView and we know it works well there. I would recommend to check first that it works for you in classic Qt application/widget and then try if it works in QML as well.
