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_setposition(3),     and
     mouse_getx(3),  except  that  they work in all six dimensions, x, y, z, and
     rotations about those axes.

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

     mouse_setposition_6d()  and mouse_setrange_6d() take an additional argument
     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  shorthand
     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 coordinates
     will always return zero (or whatever value you set them to).

     It  is  very  likely  that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm

     Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the orig-
