getJoystickPosition()

bool CJoystick::getJoystickPosition	(	int	nJoy,
		float &	x,
		float &	y,
		float &	z,
		std::vector< bool > &	buttons,
		int *	raw_x_pos = NULL,
		int *	raw_y_pos = NULL,
		int *	raw_z_pos = NULL
	)

Gets joystick information.

This method will try first to open the joystick, so you can safely call it while the joystick is plugged and removed arbitrarly.

Parameters

nJoy	The index of the joystick to query: The first one is 0, the second 1, etc... See CJoystick::getJoysticksCount to discover the number of joysticks in the system.
x	The x axis position, range [-1,1]
y	The y axis position, range [-1,1]
z	The z axis position, range [-1,1]
buttons	Each element will hold true if buttons are pressed. The size of the vector will be set automatically to the number of buttons.
raw_x_pos	If it is desired the raw integer measurement from JoyStick, set this pointer to a desired placeholder.
raw_y_pos	If it is desired the raw integer measurement from JoyStick, set this pointer to a desired placeholder.
raw_z_pos	If it is desired the raw integer measurement from JoyStick, set this pointer to a desired placeholder.

Returns

Returns true if successfull, false on error, for example, if joystick is not present.

setLimits()

void CJoystick::setLimits	(	int	x_min = -32767,
		int	x_max = 32767,
		int	y_min = -32767,
		int	y_max = 32767,
		int	z_min = -32767,
		int	z_max = 32767
	)

Set the axis limit values, for computing a [-1,1] position index easily (Only required to calibrate analog joystick).

Set the axis limit values, for computing a [-1,1] position index easily.

It seems that these values must been calibrated for each joystick model.
