Component (jinput API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractComponent, LinuxJoystickPOV, WinTabButtonComponent, WinTabComponent, WinTabCursorComponent
```
public interface Component
```
An axis is a single button, slider, or dial, which has a single range. An axis can hold information for motion (linear or rotational), velocity, force, or acceleration.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`float`	`getDeadZone()`	Returns the suggested dead zone for this axis.
`Component.Identifier`	`getIdentifier()`	Returns the identifier of the axis.
`java.lang.String`	`getName()`	Returns a human-readable name for this axis.
`float`	`getPollData()`	Returns the data from the last time the control has been polled.
`boolean`	`isAnalog()`	Returns whether or not the axis is analog, or false if it is digital.
`boolean`	`isRelative()`	Returns `true` if data returned from `poll` is relative to the last call, or `false` if data is absolute.

- Method Detail
  - getIdentifier
```
Component.Identifier getIdentifier()
```
    Returns the identifier of the axis.
  - isRelative
```
boolean isRelative()
```
    Returns true if data returned from poll is relative to the last call, or false if data is absolute.
  - isAnalog
```
boolean isAnalog()
```
    Returns whether or not the axis is analog, or false if it is digital.
  - getDeadZone
```
float getDeadZone()
```
    Returns the suggested dead zone for this axis. Dead zone is the amount polled data can vary before considered a significant change in value. An application can safely ignore changes less than this value in the positive or negative direction.

    getPollData()
  - getPollData
```
float getPollData()
```
    Returns the data from the last time the control has been polled. If this axis is a button, the value returned will be either 0.0f or 1.0f. If this axis is normalized, the value returned will be between -1.0f and 1.0f.

java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns a human-readable name for this axis.
