When the parent's position/orientation changes, the child's position/orientation shall be updated accordingly. Additionally, the joint itself can be transformed so the child's position/orientation changes w.r.t the parent, but the parent's position/orientation still modifies the child. For example, imagine a human arm. The Upper arm could be the parent of the lower arm, and the WOGJoint would represent the elbow. When the upper arm moves, the lower arm moves relative to the upper arm, as it is attached to the upper arm; additionally, the elbow can bend, allowing the lower arm to move independent of the upper arm. The WOGJoint class allows the user to specify many different parameters to define how the joint shall operate. Key features/notes of the joint include: -# The joint's location is defined as an offset from the parent WO. -# The WOGJoint's jointLookDir defines the joint's relative +X-axis. -# The WOGJoint's jointNormal defines the joint's relative +Z-axis. -# The jointLookDir and jointNormal shall be orthognal, unless the user knows EXACTLY what he's doing. -# Iff orthogonal, the jointNormal (cross) jointLookDir shall yield the joint's relative +Y-axis. -# Modifying the joint's horizontal angle (yaw), vertical angle (pitch), and roll, correspond to the joint being rotated about its relative +Z-axis, +Y-axis, and +X-axis, respectively. To USE a joint, the user simply creates at least two WOs. One of these WOs MUST be of type WO (or a subclass). The code below shows an example of connecting a lower arm to an upper arm via a joint. //Create the upperArm (PARENT) WO* upperArm = new WO( ManagerEnvironmentConfiguration::getSMM() + "/models/roboArm2.wrl" ); upperArm->setPosition( Vector( 9.0, 0, 15 ) ); //Create the lowerArm (CHILD) WO* lowerArm = new WO( ManagerEnvironmentConfiguration::getSMM() + "/models/roboArm2.wrl" ); lowerArm->setParentWorldObject( upperArm ); //Child NEEDS a set parent lowerArm->setPosition( Vector( 29.5, 0, 15 ) ); //20.5 Units along +X-axis from the PARENT (child's relative position from parent) upperArm->getChildren().push_back( lowerArm ); //Adds the lowerArm as a CHILD of the PARENT (now the PARENT knows that lowerArm is its child). joint = new WOGJoint( lowerArm, Vector(10.25,0,0) ); //creates a joint 1.25 Units along +X-axis from parent lowerArm->lockWRTparent( joint ); //Actually fixes the child to the parent via the joint \{ */ class WOGJoint { public: /** Creates a joint between childWithSetParent and the corresponding Parent.
