Here you can see the logical location of the device. When you have more
than one joystick device, you can also select which device to configure.

<para>
The plotted location of the X and Y axes of the joystick. Enable <guibutton>Show trace</guibutton>
to plot the path of the joystick from one point to another.
</para>
<tip><para>
When the joystick cannot reach every point on this graph, or does not center correctly, you need to calibrate your device.

<listitem>
<para>
A place to observe the pressed state of buttons on your joystick and when the buttons
are mapped correctly. When a joystick button is pressed, <guilabel>PRESSED</guilabel> will appear
next to the logical number (as the computer sees it) of the button which was
pressed.

<varlistentry><term><guilabel>Axes</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This displays the numerical values of the axis positions. 0 is centered and the
maximum and minimum values depend on the joystick and the particular axis.

<listitem>
<para>
Selecting the <guibutton>Calibrate</guibutton> button will open a dialog to calibrate every axis on your joystick.

<para>
Each axis will have to be moved to the minimum position, then the center, and finally the
maximum position. A meter in the bottom left corner of the dialog will help
determine which way increases and which way decreases the values.
