glutJoystickFunc(3GLUT) GLUT glutJoystickFunc(3GLUT) NAME glutJoystickFunc - sets the joystick callback for the current window. SYNTAX void glutJoystickFunc(void (*func)(unsigned int buttonMask, int x, int y, int z), int pollInterval); ARGUMENTS func The new joystick callback function. pollInterval Joystick polling interval in milliseconds. DESCRIPTION glutJoystickFunc sets the joystick callback for the current window. The joystick callback is called either due to polling of the joystick at the uniform timer interval specified by pollInterval (in milliseconds) or in response to calling glutForceJoystickFunc. If the pollInterval is non- positive, no joystick polling is performed and the GLUT application must frequently (usually from an idle callback) call glutForceJoystickFunc. The joystick buttons are reported by the callback's buttonMask parameter. The constants GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_A (0x1), GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_B (0x2), GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_C (0x4), and GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_D (0x8) are provided for programming convience. The x, y, and z callback parameters report the X, Y, and Z axes of the joy- stick. The joystick is centered at (0,0,0). X, Y, and Z are scaled to range between -1000 and 1000. Moving the joystick left reports negative X; right reports positive X. Pulling the stick towards you reports negative Y; push the stick away from you reports positive Y. If the joystick has a third axis (rudder or up/down), down reports negative Z; up reports posi- tive Z. Passing a NULL func to glutJoystickFunc disables the generation of joystick callbacks. Without a joystick callback registered, glutForceJoystickFunc does nothing. When a new window is created, no joystick callback is initially registered. LIMITATIONS The GLUT joystick callback only reports the first 3 axes and 32 buttons. GLUT supports only a single joystick. GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR X11 The GLUT 3.7 implementation of GLUT for X11 supports the joystick API, but not joystick input. A future implementation of GLUT for X11 may add joy- stick support. GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR WIN32 The GLUT 3.7 implementation of GLUT for Win32 supports the joystick API and joystick input, but does so through the dated joySetCapture and joyGetPosEx Win32 Multimedia API. The GLUT 3.7 joystick support for Win32 has all the limitations of the Win32 Multimedia API joystick support. A future imple- mentation of GLUT for Win32 may use DirectInput.
