Understanding Mecanum Drive

Hello Everyone,

I have a technical question regarding programming a mecanum drivetrain. Looking at wpilib one would setup the mecanumDrive_Polar method by using a joystick's Y axis for both the magnitude and direction parameter. How does the method determine if the joystick is moving right or left if it's only sampling the Y axis?

Thank you!
