### setPoints

Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  

```
public RemoveSpaceGesture.Builder setPoints (PointF startPoint, 
                PointF endPoint)
```

Sets the start and end points in screen coordinates of the line to apply the remove space operation. All whitespace characters touched by the line joining the points will be deleted.

The operation will only be performed on a single line of text. If the start and end points are on different lines of text, the line will be adjusted to cover only the first line of text containing one of the points.
