axis

Overview

Axis events occur when analog data has been received from an InputDevice axis inputs. For example, axis events will be raised when a joystick has been moved, a gamepad's analog triggers have been pressed or released, a mouse has been moved, a scroll wheel has been moved, when movement has been detected on a touchpad/touchscreen, etc. This data is typically used by games which require analog controls.

Gotchas
