annotate docs/man3/SDL_JoystickGetAxis.3 @ 2992:dbff5769d742

The core pointer is comprised of merging the inputs of all mice. If there are other mice, they should show up in the device list, and we want to report events from those devices instead of the core events. However, if XInput isn't supported or we can't find other mice in the device list, we'll add the core pointer and interpret normal mouse events.

13 On most modern joysticks the X axis is usually represented by \fBaxis\fR 0 and the Y axis by \fBaxis\fR 1\&. The value returned by \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP is a signed integer (-32768 to 32768) representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR, 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\&.
