Detailed Description

Helper class to hold contents of a joint axis mimic tag, which define a Mimic constraint.

A Mimic constraint encodes a linear relationship between the position of two joint axes. One joint axis is labelled as the leader and the other as the follower. The multiplier, offset, and reference parameters determine the linear relationship according to the following equation:

follower_position = multiplier * (leader_position - reference) + offset

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MimicConstraint()

sdf::SDF_VERSION_NAMESPACE::MimicConstraint::MimicConstraint	(	const std::string &	_joint = "",
		const std::string &	_axis = "axis",
		double	_multiplier = 0.0,
		double	_offset = 0.0,
		double	_reference = 0.0
	)

Constructor with arguments.

Parameters

[in]	_joint	Name of Joint containing the leader axis.
[in]	_axis	Name of the leader axis, either "axis" or "axis2".
[in]	_multiplier	Multiplier parameter, which represents the ratio between changes in the follower position relative to changes in the leader position.
[in]	_offset	Offset to the follower position in the linear constraint.
[in]	_reference	Reference for the leader position before applying the multiplier in the linear constraint.
