Fixed bug #38 I'm using SDL 1.2.9 with Visual C++ 7.0 on Windows 2000. Here's the setup: my game starts in a window, with SDL_WM_GrabInput(SDL_GRAB_ON) to constrain the cursor to the game window. The mouse cursor is outside of the window when the game launches, and when the window appears the cursor is grabbed and placed at the top left corner of the inside of the game window. At this point, if I click the mouse without moving it, the SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN event's mouse coordinates are (65535,65535).

.SH "NAME"
SDL_JoystickGetAxis\- Get the current state of an axis
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSint16 \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Joystick *joystick, int axis\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP returns the current state of the given \fBaxis\fR on the given \fBjoystick\fR\&.
.PP
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\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a 16-bit signed integer representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR\&.
