Moving objects by scripts
Interactivity legend:
- "Switch": object can be activated or deactivated by double-click.
- "Move": object or it's control points can be dragged around with the mouse.
- "Delete": object can be deleted by double-click (if active)
- "Generate": object can generate "force" or "moment" objects by dragging sample objects with the mouse.
Return value: only relevant for interactive input
JSON data for objects that can be animated now have extra inputs
Note:
- Not all objects are meant to be animated, as it depends on the purpose of their functionalities.
- xdist refers to the x-coordinate distance the objects move
- ydist refers to the y-coordinate distance the objects move
- tms refers to the time in milliseconds the objects are animated
The input for the images in the table are found here
