timedDragFrom method

Future<void> timedDragFrom(
  1. Offset startLocation,
  2. Offset offset,
  3. Duration duration, {
  4. int? pointer,
  5. int buttons = kPrimaryButton,
  6. double frequency = 60.0,
})

Attempts a series of PointerEvents to simulate a drag operation in the duration time.

This is the timed version of dragFrom. This may or may not result in a flingFrom or ballistic animation, depending on the speed from offset/duration.

The move events are sent at a given frequency in Hz (or events per second). It defaults to 60Hz.

The movement is linear in time.
