Model Arrow defines an arrow that is dynamically visualized at the defined location (see variables below). If you want an arrow representing something that is not a relative position, use Vector instead.
The dialog variables R
, r
, r_tail
, r_head
, color
,
specularCoefficient
, and headAtOrigin
are declared as (time varying) input variables.
If the default equation is not appropriate, a corresponding
modifier equation has to be provided in the
model where an Arrow instance is used, e.g., in the form
Visualizers.Advanced.Arrow arrow(r_head = {sin(time),cos(time},0});
Variable color
is an Integer vector with 3 elements,
{r, g, b}, and specifies the color of the shape.
{r, g, b} are the "red", "green" and "blue" color parts.
Note, r, g and b are given in the range 0 … 255.
The predefined type
MultiBody.Types.Color
contains a menu definition of the colors used in the MultiBody
library together with a color editor.
