Public Member Functions
void	Initialize (b2Body *bodyA, b2Body *bodyB, const b2Vec2 &anchorA, const b2Vec2 &anchorB)

Public Attributes
b2Vec2	localAnchorA
	The local anchor point relative to bodyA's origin.
b2Vec2	localAnchorB
	The local anchor point relative to bodyB's origin.
float32	length
	The natural length between the anchor points.
float32	frequencyHz
float32	dampingRatio
	The damping ratio. 0 = no damping, 1 = critical damping.
Public Attributes inherited from b2JointDef
b2JointType	type
	The joint type is set automatically for concrete joint types.
void *	userData
	Use this to attach application specific data to your joints.
b2Body *	bodyA
	The first attached body.
b2Body *	bodyB
	The second attached body.
bool	collideConnected
	Set this flag to true if the attached bodies should collide.

Detailed Description

Distance joint definition. This requires defining an anchor point on both bodies and the non-zero length of the distance joint. The definition uses local anchor points so that the initial configuration can violate the constraint slightly. This helps when saving and loading a game.

Warning

Do not use a zero or short length.
