UIResponder touch points versus UIGestureRecognizer touch points

I wanted to know what the differences are between the points available from the methods UIResponder

from the object UITouch

and the points available from the object UIGestureRecognizer

. I'm sure we won't get all the points on the device when the finger is moved. Is the same number of panning points available for the API, or if any API gives more points? What is the best way to track all affected points?
