NAME

       SDL_JoystickGetAxis - Get the current state of an axis

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL.h"

       Sint16 SDL_JoystickGetAxis(SDL_Joystick *joystick, int axis);

DESCRIPTION

       SDL_JoystickGetAxis  returns the current state of the given axis on the
       given joystick.

       On most modern joysticks the X axis is usually represented  by  axis  0
       and  the Y axis by axis 1. The value returned by SDL_JoystickGetAxis is
       a signed integer (-32768 to 32768) representing the current position of
       the  axis,  it  maybe  necessary  to impose certain tolerances on these
       values to account for jitter. It is worth noting  that  some  joysticks
       use axes 2 and 3 for extra buttons.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  a  16-bit  signed integer representing the current position of
       the axis.

EXAMPLES

       Sint16 x_move, y_move;
       SDL_Joystick *joy1;
       .
       .
       x_move=SDL_JoystickGetAxis(joy1, 0);
       y_move=SDL_JoystickGetAxis(joy1, 1);
