jit.phys.barslide
A bar constraint in a physics world
Description
The jit.phys.barslide object constrains attached jit.phys.body objects to rotate and translate around a single axis. Limits and motor forces can be specified for both the linear translation and angular rotation around the constraint. If only a single body is bound, it is constrained to a point in world space.
Attributes
body1[symbol]
The name of the first jit.phys.body to constrain.
body2[symbol]
The name of the second jit.phys.body to constrain.
collisions[int]
Enables collisions between attached bodies (default = 0).
damping[float]
Limit damping value (default = 0.7).
enable[int]
Enable this constraint in the physics simulation (default = 1).
linearposition[float]
read-only
Position of constraint along translate axis (default = 0).
lowerlimit_ang[float]
The lower limit of allowed rotation around the bar axis in degrees (default = 1). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
lowerlimit_lin[float]
The lower limit of allowed translation along the bar axis (default = 0). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
motorstrength_ang[float]
The maximum angular motor impulse (default 1.).
motorstrength_lin[float]
The maximum linear motor impulse (default 1.).
motorvelocity_ang[float]
Enables angular motor and specifies velocity desired in degrees per second (default = 0).
motorvelocity_lin[float]
Enables linear motor and specifies velocity desired in units per second (default = 0).
position1[3 floats]
The pivot point of body1 as a 3D vector relative to the body1 center of mass (default = 0 0 0).
position2[3 floats]
The pivot point of body2 as a 3D vector relative to the body2 center of mass (default = 0 0 0). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace position of the constraint.
quat1[4 floats]
The quaternion orientation of body1 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1).
quat2[4 floats]
The quaternion orientation of body2 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace orientation of the constraint.
restitution[float]
Limit restitution value (default = 1.0).
rotate1[4 floats]
Rotation of body1 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1).
rotate2[4 floats]
Rotation of body2 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace orientation of the constraint.
rotatexyz1[3 floats]
Euler rotation of body1 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0).
rotatexyz2[3 floats]
Euler rotation of body2 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace orientation of the constraint.
softness[float]
Limit softness value (default = 1.0).
strength[float]
Set the constraint strength (default = 0.2). Determines what proportion of the joint error will be fixed each simulation step. Values between 0.1 and 0.8 are recommended.
stretch[float]
Set the constraint stretch (default = 0.0). Setting to a positive value allows forces acting on rigid bodies to violate the constraint by an amount proportional to the stretch value.
upperlimit_ang[float]
The upper limit of allowed rotation in degrees around the bar axis (default = -1). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
upperlimit_lin[float]
The upper limit of allowed translation along the bar axis (default = 0). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
worldname[symbol]
The name of a jit.phys.world context this constraint is bound to.
worldpos[3 floats]
read-only
The derived constraint world position (default = 0 0 0)
worldquat[4 floats]
read-only
The derived constraint world quaternion (default = 0 0 0 1)

fontface[int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname[symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize[float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'

hint[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick[int]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
