joystick_getaxis(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	   joystick_getaxis(3)

NAME
       joystick_getaxis,  joystick_getbutton  -	 query	the current state of a
       joystick.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vgajoystick.h>

       char joystick_getaxis(int joydev, int a);
       char joystick_getbutton(int joydev, int b);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions query the current state of the joystick joydev.	 Actu‐
       ally this is the state found during the last call to joystick_update(3)
       with the default joystick event handler active.

       joystick_getaxis(joydev, a) return the current state of the given  axis
       (usually	 it  is x - 0, y - 1, z - 1, ...)  in range -128 .. 127.  Some
       effort is made such that the center position is close to 0.

       Note that especially the version 0.* protocol joystick  calibration  is
       very  bad. You won't usually see the extrem values on the extreme posi‐
       tion. Also, the center position will be close to zero but often not  be
       exactly	zero  and  return  values will also vary slightly from call to
       call even when the user did not move the joystick.

       joystick_getbutton(joydev, b) returns the state of a button. It returns
       1  for pressed button and 0 else. Note that no hardware checks for but‐
       ton clicks. The button press is only detected during  a	call  to  joy‐
       stick_update(3) (at least in the 0.* protocol).

       NOTE:  The  functions simply return the data passed to the default joy‐
       stick event handler!

       For your convenience, the following stortcuts have been established  by
       use of the preprocessor:

	      joystick_button1(i) for joystick_getbutton(i, 0).
	      joystick_button2(i) for joystick_getbutton(i, 1).
	      joystick_button3(i) for joystick_getbutton(i, 2).
	      joystick_button4(i) for joystick_getbutton(i, 3).

	      joystick_x(i) for joystick_getaxis(i, 0).
	      joystick_y(i) for joystick_getaxis(i, 1).
	      joystick_z(i) for joystick_getaxis(i, 2).

	      joystick_getb1() for joystick_getbutton(0, 0).
	      joystick_getb2() for joystick_getbutton(0, 1).
	      joystick_getb3() for joystick_getbutton(0, 2).
	      joystick_getb4() for joystick_getbutton(0, 3).

	      joystick_getx() for joystick_getaxis(0, 0).
	      joystick_gety() for joystick_getaxis(0, 1).
	      joystick_getz() for joystick_getaxis(0, 2).

CAVEATS
       This  function  is  only	 available  in ELF versions of svgalib. Due to
       backwards compatibility issues it cannot	 be  used  with	 shared	 a.out
       libs.

AUTHOR
       The svgalib joystick handler  was  mostly  done	by  Daniel  Engstr\"om
       <daniel.engstrom@riksnett.no>.  Multiple joystick, VC switching support
       and code to  glue  it  into  svgalib  by	 Michael  Weller  <eowmob@exp-
       math.uni-essen.de>. Part of the code is based on code from C. Smith and
       Vojtech Pavlik.
