mouse_getposition_6d(3)	      Svgalib User Manual      mouse_getposition_6d(3)

NAME
       mouse_getposition_6d, mouse_setposition_6d, mouse_setrange_6d - provide
       an interface to 3d mice

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<vgamouse.h>

       void  mouse_getposition_6d(int  *x,  int	*y, int	*z, int	*rx , int *ry,
       int *rz);
       void mouse_setposition_6d(int x,	int y, int z, int rx , int ry, int rz,
       int dim_mask);
       void mouse_setrange_6d(int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2, int z1 , int z2,
       int rx1,	int rx2, int ry1, int ry2 , int	rz1, int rz2, int dim_mask);

DESCRIPTION
       These  routines	 provide   the	 same	function   as	mouse_getx(3),
       mouse_gety(3),  mouse_setxrange(3),  mouse_setyrange(3),	mouse_setposi-
       tion(3),	and mouse_getx(3), except that they work  in  all  six	dimen-
       sions, x, y, z, and rotations about those axes.

       For mouse_getposition_6d(), NULL	pointers may be	passed for any coordi-
       nate you	don't care to know about.  Those dimensions will be ignored.

       mouse_setposition_6d() and mouse_setrange_6d() take an additional argu-
       ment  called  dim_mask, which should be an logical or of	the following:
       MOUSE_XDIM,  MOUSE_YDIM,	 MOUSE_ZDIM,  MOUSE_RXDIM,   MOUSE_RYDIM,   or
       MOUSE_RZDIM.   MOUSE_2DIM, MOUSE_3DIM, MOUSE_6DIM can be	used as	short-
       hand for	the XY,	XYZ, or	XYZRxRyRz dimensions.  The position or	ranges
       will only be set	if that	dimension is included in dim_mask.

       The 6d mouse routines can be used safely	with any mouse type, including
       standard	2D mice.

       When used with mice that	support	fewer than six axes, the other coordi-
       nates will always return	zero (or whatever value	you set	them to).
