Detailed Description

A universal joint is like a ball and socket joint that constrains an extra degree of rotational freedom.

Given axis 1 on body 1, and axis 2 on body 2 that is perpendicular to axis 1, it keeps them perpendicular. In other words, rotation of the two bodies about the direction perpendicular to the two axes will be equal.

Member Function Documentation

virtual csVector3 iODEUniversalJoint::GetUniversalAnchor1

(

)

[pure virtual]

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.

virtual csVector3 iODEUniversalJoint::GetUniversalAnchor2

(

)

[pure virtual]

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.

virtual csVector3 iODEUniversalJoint::GetUniversalAxis1

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get universal axis on body 1.

virtual csVector3 iODEUniversalJoint::GetUniversalAxis2

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get universal axis on body 2.

virtual void iODEUniversalJoint::SetUniversalAnchor	(	float	x,
		float	y,
		float	z
	)			[pure virtual]

Set universal anchor.

virtual void iODEUniversalJoint::SetUniversalAxis1	(	float	x,
		float	y,
		float	z
	)			[pure virtual]

Set axis on body 1 (should be perpendicular to axis 2).

virtual void iODEUniversalJoint::SetUniversalAxis2	(	float	x,
		float	y,
		float	z
	)			[pure virtual]

Set axis on body 2 (should be perpendicular to axis 1).
