int mousey(void);
  </code>


==== Description of mousey ==== 
<code c>
The mousey function is available in the winbgim implementation of BGI
graphics. It returns the most recent y coordinate of the mouse within the
graphics window. Y-coordinates start with 0 at the top edge of the window
and increase to getmaxy( ) at the bottom edge of the window.

/* mouse example */
#include "graphics.h"

// The click_handler will be called whenever the left mouse button is
// clicked. It checks copies the x,y coordinates of the click to
// see if the click was on a red pixel. If so, then the boolean
// variable red_clicked is set to true. Note that in general
// all handlers should be quick. If they need to do more than a little
// work, they should set a variable that will trigger the work going,
// and then return.
bool red_clicked = false;
void click_handler(int x, int y)
{
    if (getpixel(x,y) == RED)
  red_clicked = true;

// Call this function to draw an isosoles triangle with the given base
and
// height. The triangle will be drawn just above the botton of the
screen.

    // Print a message and wait for a red pixel to be double clicked:
