Accelerometer
============

The accelerometer is a motion sensor that detects the change (delta) in
movement relative to the current device orientation, in three dimensions
along the x, y, and z axis.

The :class:`Accelerometer` provides access to public methods to
use accelerometer of your device.

Simple Examples
---------------

To enable accelerometer::

    >>> from plyer import accelerometer
    >>> accelerometer.enable()

To disable accelerometer::

    >>> accelerometer.disable()

To get the acceleration::

    >>> accelerometer.acceleration
    (-10.048464775085449, 6.825869083404541, 7.7260890007019043)

Supported Plaforms
------------------
Android, iOS, OS X, Linux
