			<tt>glutJoystickFunc</tt> sets the joystick callback for the current window.
		</p><p>
			The joystick callback is called either due to polling of the joystick at the uniform timer interval specified by
			<i><tt>pollInterval</tt></i> (in milliseconds) or in response to calling <a href="glutForceJoystickFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutForceJoystickFunc</tt></a>. If the <i><tt>pollInterval</tt></i> is non-positive, no
			joystick polling is performed and the GLUT application must frequently (usually from an idle callback) call <a href="glutForceJoystickFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutForceJoystickFunc</tt></a>.
		</p><p>
			The joystick buttons are reported by the callback's <i><tt>buttonMask</tt></i> parameter. The constants
			<tt>GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_A</tt> (0x1), <tt>GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_B</tt> (0x2),
			<tt>GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_C</tt> (0x4), and <tt>GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_D</tt> (0x8) are provided
			for programming convience.
		</p><p>
			The x, y, and z callback parameters report the X, Y, and Z axes of the joystick. 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 positive Z.
		</p><p>
			Passing a <tt>NULL</tt> func to <tt>glutJoystickFunc</tt> disables the generation of joystick
			callbacks. Without a joystick callback registered, <a href="glutForceJoystickFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutForceJoystickFunc</tt></a> does
			nothing.
		</p><p>
			When a new window is created, no joystick callback is initially registered.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutJoystickFunc.3GLUT-limitations"/><h2>Limitations</h2><p>
			The GLUT joystick callback only reports the first 3 axes and 32 buttons. GLUT supports only a single joystick.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutJoystickFunc.3GLUT-glut_implementation_notes_for_x11"/><h2>Glut Implementation Notes For X11</h2><p>
			The current implementation of GLUT for X11 supports the joystick API, but not joystick input. A future implementation
			of GLUT for X11 may add joystick support.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutJoystickFunc.3GLUT-glut_implementation_notes_for_win32"/><h2>Glut Implementation Notes For Win32</h2><p>
			The current implementation of GLUT for Win32 supports the joystick API and joystick input, but does so through the
			dated <tt>joySetCapture</tt> and <tt>joyGetPosEx</tt>
			Win32 Multimedia API. The current GLUT joystick support for Win32 has all the limitations of the Win32 Multimedia API
			joystick support. A future implementation of GLUT for Win32 may use DirectInput.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutJoystickFunc.3GLUT-glut_implementation_notes_for_non-analog_joysticks"/><h2>Glut Implementation Notes For Non-Analog Joysticks</h2><p>
			If the connected joystick does not return (x,y,z) as a continuous range (for example, an 8 position Atari 2600
			joystick), the implementation should report the most extreme (x,y,z) location. That is, if a 2D joystick is pushed to
			the upper left, report (-1000,1000,0).
