Gesture Recognisers

I would like to add some gesture recognisers similar to the ones in the app mailbox or lasso. How would I go about doing this? Thanks

    //Add this method to -viewDidLoad 
- (void)addTapGesture{ 
        UITapGestureRecognizer *touchedBackground = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self 
                                                                                        action:@selector(hideKeyboard)]; 
        [touchedBackground setNumberOfTapsRequired:1]; 
        [self.view addGestureRecognizer:touchedBackground]; 
} 

//Create the method for the touchedBackground selector  
- (void)hideKeyboard{   
    [self.view endEditing:YES];  
}

This is just to hide the background, change the gestures to any gesture you want.
