public class OutputText

extends Law

This is a descendant of Law which writes the position of all entities to a text file every so often. The output file format is compatible with povray:

<x1, y1, z2>, <x2, y2, z2>, <x3, y3, z3>...
...
...

Parameters are read from a BlockReader, in this format:

law OutputText
{
file		
interval	
}

file gives the file to which output will be written, and interval gives the number of calls to act() that are ignored between producing output.

Method Detail

act

public void act()

Description copied from class: Law

Make the law act upon the entities. This is called by Physics once in every time interval. This method should calculate the net force due to this Law acting on each Entity and then call Entity.addForce(force) on every Entity to add this law's constribution to the total force acting on the Entity.

Overrides:

act in class Law

Following copied from class: noope.laws.Law

Parameters:

e - the list of entities that the force should act on
