Fixed bug #713 Don't clamp the mouse coordinates to the video surface size, instead clamp them to the last known window size. This allows users to get the correct mouse coordinates even if they don't call SDL_SetVideoMode() in response to an SDL_VIDEORESIZE event (used as a hack to retain the OpenGL context on Windows and Linux after a window resize)

.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\&.
