Description: This command is used to perform swipe operation on a mobile widget using a mobile locator. Swipe to a locator allows you to use an end point for the swipe which is defined in a mobile locator. Direction allows you to control the direction of the swipe (Up, Down, Left, Right) and Offset points allows you to specify the amount of the swipe.
