Detailed Description

A rigid body. These are created via b2World::CreateBody.

Member Function Documentation

void b2Body::ApplyAngularImpulse ( float32  impulse,
bool  wake 
)
inline

Apply an angular impulse.

Parameters
impulsethe angular impulse in units of kg*m*m/s
wakealso wake up the body
void b2Body::ApplyForce ( const b2Vec2 force,
const b2Vec2 point,
bool  wake 
)
inline

Apply a force at a world point. If the force is not applied at the center of mass, it will generate a torque and affect the angular velocity. This wakes up the body.

Parameters
forcethe world force vector, usually in Newtons (N).
pointthe world position of the point of application.
wakealso wake up the body
void b2Body::ApplyForceToCenter ( const b2Vec2 force,
bool  wake 
)
inline

Apply a force to the center of mass. This wakes up the body.

Parameters
forcethe world force vector, usually in Newtons (N).
wakealso wake up the body
void b2Body::ApplyLinearImpulse ( const b2Vec2 impulse,
const b2Vec2 point,
bool  wake 
)
inline

Apply an impulse at a point. This immediately modifies the velocity. It also modifies the angular velocity if the point of application is not at the center of mass. This wakes up the body.

Parameters
impulsethe world impulse vector, usually in N-seconds or kg-m/s.
pointthe world position of the point of application.
wakealso wake up the body
void b2Body::ApplyTorque ( float32  torque,
bool  wake 
)
inline

Apply a torque. This affects the angular velocity without affecting the linear velocity of the center of mass. This wakes up the body.

Parameters
torqueabout the z-axis (out of the screen), usually in N-m.
wakealso wake up the body
b2Fixture * b2Body::CreateFixture ( const b2FixtureDef def)

Creates a fixture and attach it to this body. Use this function if you need to set some fixture parameters, like friction. Otherwise you can create the fixture directly from a shape. If the density is non-zero, this function automatically updates the mass of the body. Contacts are not created until the next time step.

Parameters
defthe fixture definition.
Warning
This function is locked during callbacks.
b2Fixture * b2Body::CreateFixture ( const b2Shape shape,
float32  density 
)

Creates a fixture from a shape and attach it to this body. This is a convenience function. Use b2FixtureDef if you need to set parameters like friction, restitution, user data, or filtering. If the density is non-zero, this function automatically updates the mass of the body.

Parameters
shapethe shape to be cloned.
densitythe shape density (set to zero for static bodies).
Warning
This function is locked during callbacks.
void b2Body::DestroyFixture ( b2Fixture fixture)

Destroy a fixture. This removes the fixture from the broad-phase and destroys all contacts associated with this fixture. This will automatically adjust the mass of the body if the body is dynamic and the fixture has positive density. All fixtures attached to a body are implicitly destroyed when the body is destroyed.

Parameters
fixturethe fixture to be removed.
Warning
This function is locked during callbacks.
float32 b2Body::GetAngle ( ) const
inline

Get the angle in radians.

Returns
the current world rotation angle in radians.
float32 b2Body::GetAngularVelocity ( ) const
inline

Get the angular velocity.

Returns
the angular velocity in radians/second.
b2ContactEdge * b2Body::GetContactList ( )
inline

Get the list of all contacts attached to this body.

Warning
this list changes during the time step and you may miss some collisions if you don't use b2ContactListener.
float32 b2Body::GetInertia ( ) const
inline

Get the rotational inertia of the body about the local origin.

Returns
the rotational inertia, usually in kg-m^2.
const b2Vec2 & b2Body::GetLinearVelocity ( ) const
inline

Get the linear velocity of the center of mass.

Returns
the linear velocity of the center of mass.
b2Vec2 b2Body::GetLinearVelocityFromLocalPoint ( const b2Vec2 localPoint) const
inline

Get the world velocity of a local point.

Parameters
apoint in local coordinates.
Returns
the world velocity of a point.
b2Vec2 b2Body::GetLinearVelocityFromWorldPoint ( const b2Vec2 worldPoint) const
inline

Get the world linear velocity of a world point attached to this body.

Parameters
apoint in world coordinates.
Returns
the world velocity of a point.
b2Vec2 b2Body::GetLocalPoint ( const b2Vec2 worldPoint) const
inline

Gets a local point relative to the body's origin given a world point.

Parameters
apoint in world coordinates.
Returns
the corresponding local point relative to the body's origin.
b2Vec2 b2Body::GetLocalVector ( const b2Vec2 worldVector) const
inline

Gets a local vector given a world vector.

Parameters
avector in world coordinates.
Returns
the corresponding local vector.
float32 b2Body::GetMass ( ) const
inline

Get the total mass of the body.

Returns
the mass, usually in kilograms (kg).
void b2Body::GetMassData ( b2MassData data) const
inline

Get the mass data of the body.

Returns
a struct containing the mass, inertia and center of the body.
const b2Vec2 & b2Body::GetPosition ( ) const
inline

Get the world body origin position.

Returns
the world position of the body's origin.
const b2Transform & b2Body::GetTransform ( ) const
inline

Get the body transform for the body's origin.

Returns
the world transform of the body's origin.
b2Vec2 b2Body::GetWorldPoint ( const b2Vec2 localPoint) const
inline

Get the world coordinates of a point given the local coordinates.

Parameters
localPointa point on the body measured relative the the body's origin.
Returns
the same point expressed in world coordinates.
b2Vec2 b2Body::GetWorldVector ( const b2Vec2 localVector) const
inline

Get the world coordinates of a vector given the local coordinates.

Parameters
localVectora vector fixed in the body.
Returns
the same vector expressed in world coordinates.
bool b2Body::IsAwake ( ) const
inline

Get the sleeping state of this body.

Returns
true if the body is awake.
void b2Body::ResetMassData ( )

This resets the mass properties to the sum of the mass properties of the fixtures. This normally does not need to be called unless you called SetMassData to override the mass and you later want to reset the mass.

void b2Body::SetActive ( bool  flag)

Set the active state of the body. An inactive body is not simulated and cannot be collided with or woken up. If you pass a flag of true, all fixtures will be added to the broad-phase. If you pass a flag of false, all fixtures will be removed from the broad-phase and all contacts will be destroyed. Fixtures and joints are otherwise unaffected. You may continue to create/destroy fixtures and joints on inactive bodies. Fixtures on an inactive body are implicitly inactive and will not participate in collisions, ray-casts, or queries. Joints connected to an inactive body are implicitly inactive. An inactive body is still owned by a b2World object and remains in the body list.

void b2Body::SetAngularVelocity ( float32  omega)
inline

Set the angular velocity.

Parameters
omegathe new angular velocity in radians/second.
void b2Body::SetAwake ( bool  flag)
inline

Set the sleep state of the body. A sleeping body has very low CPU cost.

Parameters
flagset to true to wake the body, false to put it to sleep.
void b2Body::SetFixedRotation ( bool  flag)

Set this body to have fixed rotation. This causes the mass to be reset.

void b2Body::SetLinearVelocity ( const b2Vec2 v)
inline

Set the linear velocity of the center of mass.

Parameters
vthe new linear velocity of the center of mass.
void b2Body::SetMassData ( const b2MassData data)

Set the mass properties to override the mass properties of the fixtures. Note that this changes the center of mass position. Note that creating or destroying fixtures can also alter the mass. This function has no effect if the body isn't dynamic.

Parameters
massDatathe mass properties.
void b2Body::SetSleepingAllowed ( bool  flag)
inline

You can disable sleeping on this body. If you disable sleeping, the body will be woken.

void b2Body::SetTransform ( const b2Vec2 position,
float32  angle 
)

Set the position of the body's origin and rotation. Manipulating a body's transform may cause non-physical behavior. Note: contacts are updated on the next call to b2World::Step.

Parameters
positionthe world position of the body's local origin.
anglethe world rotation in radians.
