Method Details

__init__(...)
(Constructor)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
Overrides:
ode.Joint.__init__

__new__(T, S, ...)

T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Returns:
a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides:
ode.Joint.__new__

addTorques(torque1, torque2)

Applies torque1 about axis 1, and torque2 about axis 2.
Parameters:
torque1 - Torque 1 magnitude
           (type=float)
torque2 - Torque 2 magnitude
           (type=float)

getAnchor()

Get the joint anchor point, in world coordinates. This returns the point on body 1. If the joint is perfectly satisfied, this will be the same as the point on body 2.
Returns:
3-tuple of floats

getAnchor2()

Get the joint anchor point, in world coordinates. This returns the point on body 2. If the joint is perfectly satisfied, this will be the same as the point on body 1.
Returns:
3-tuple of floats

getAxis1()

Get the first univeral axis.
Returns:
3-tuple of floats

getAxis2()

Get the second univeral axis.
Returns:
3-tuple of floats

setAnchor(pos)

Set the universal anchor.
Parameters:
pos - Anchor position
           (type=3-sequence of floats)

setAxis1(axis)

Set the first universal axis. Axis 1 and axis 2 should be perpendicular to each other.
Parameters:
axis - Joint axis
           (type=3-sequence of floats)

setAxis2(axis)

Set the second universal axis. Axis 1 and axis 2 should be perpendicular to each other.
Parameters:
axis - Joint axis
           (type=3-sequence of floats)
