PhysicsWindow module¶

class PhysicsWindow.AddObjectWindow(window, event)[source]¶

Opens a new window with entry fields for adding a new PhysicsObject to the canvas.

Parameters

add_button_press()[source]¶

Executed when user clicks Add button.

Creates PhysicsObject, calls PhysicsCanvas.add_physics_object

Deltes and closes the window

class PhysicsWindow.PhysicsObjectWindow(window, physics_object, x=200, y=200)[source]¶

A window which tracks the status of a Physics.ForceObject, showing its current x, y, velocity, etc.

Also provides buttons for deleting the object and adding an “orbiter”

Parameters

delete_button()[source]¶

Called when user presses the delete button on the window.

Deletes the ForceObject and the PhysicsObjectWindow

Calls clear_forces on the Physics.ForceObject

orbiter_button()[source]¶: Adds a new ForceObject to the physics canvas. The new ForceObject is 1/100th the mass of the object this ForceWindow is already referencing. It starts 100 meters N of this ForceWindow’s ForceObject and has a western velocity. A Physics.GravitationalForceGenerator is also created to generate gravity between the two objects

update(interval)[source]¶

Updates the displayed information.

Updates less frequently than the framerate; only as often as specified in Options.py to improve performance

class PhysicsWindow.PhysicsWindow(window)[source]¶

Bases: object

Generated by Physics Canvas interactions, when some interaction should cause a new window to open which relates to something on the PhysicsCanvas.

del_win()[source]¶: Custom delete function also deletes window from Ui.Window update references

update(interval)[source]¶: Set interval in Options.py to control how often these windows update. :param interval: Time in seconds :type interval: number
