PointerTracker class

A widget that tracks pointer movements and reports normalized positions.

This widget replaces the previous accelerometer-based implementation and provides similar functionality but using pointer (mouse/touch) input instead. It normalizes pointer positions to a range of -1.0 to 1.0 and applies scaling based on the provided scalar.

When useRelativePosition is true, the widget tracks movement relative to the initial touch position rather than absolute position within the widget bounds.

Use this widget when you need to create effects that respond to pointer movement, such as the rainbow shimmer effect in Foil.
