SDL_JoystickGetAxis(3)         SDL API Reference        SDL_JoystickGetAxis(3)

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 val-
       ues 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);
