I tried to make a simple tap gesture and I can't figure it out. I want to add a target, simple selector to the gesture.

Here is my code :

var panGesture : UIGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer.addTarget(<#UIGestureRecognizer#>)

How can I set selector?

Should look something like this:

var tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "SomeMethod")
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
