.PlanarMechanics.Visualizers.Advanced.Arrow

Information

Model Arrow defines an arrow that is dynamically visualized at the defined location (see variables below).

The dialog variables R, r, r_tail, r_head, diameter, color and specularCoefficient 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(diameter = sin(time));

Variable color is a RGB color space given in the range 0 .. 255. Predefined colors from Types.Defaults are used throughout the library to get a coherent visualization.
