AngleConstraint

Extends: Constraint
Defined in: src/constraints/AngleConstraint.js:15

Defines one or many relationships between sets of three particles.

var a = 0, b = 1, c = 2
var single = AngleConstraint.create(Math.PI, a, b, c)
var many = AngleConstraint.create(Math.PI, [a, b, c, b, c, a])

Particles are constrained by a fixed angle or an angle range. The angle is defined by segments ab and bc.

var min = Math.PI * 0.25, max = Math.PI * 0.5
var fixed = AngleConstraint.create(max, 0, 1, 2)
var range = AngleConstraint.create([min, max], 0, 1, 2)

AngleConstraint( angle, a, [b], [c] )

src/constraints/AngleConstraint.js:15

angle Float | Array

Angle or angle range [min, max] between particles
a Int | Array

Particle index or list of many constraint sets
[b] Int

Particle index (only used if a is not an array)
[c] Int

Particle index (only used if a is not an array)

ANGLE_OBTUSE Float static final

src/constraints/AngleConstraint.js:115

Angle used to classify obtuse angles in constraint solver. For accute angles, only particles a and c are repositioned to satisfy the particle set's target angle. For obtuse angles, particle b is also repositioned.

Default: 3/4 Π

indices Uint16Array
