DistanceConstraint

Extends: Constraint
Defined in: src/constraints/DistanceConstraint.js:14

Defines one or many relationships between sets of two particles.

var a = 0, b = 1, c = 2
var single = DistanceConstraint.create(10, a, b)
var many = DistanceConstraint.create(10, [a, b, a, c])

Particles are constrained by a fixed distance or a distance range.

var min = 0.5, max = 2.5
var fixed = DistanceConstraint.create(max, 0, 1)
var range = DistanceConstraint.create([min, max], 0, 1)

DistanceConstraint( distance, a, [b] )

src/constraints/DistanceConstraint.js:14

distance Float | Array

Distance or distance 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)
