Detailed Description

This class can be used to define new motions.

To use it, create a class that extends Motion::Custom::Implementation. You can then create an instance of it and pass it to the Motion::Custom constructor:

 Motion::Custom myMotion(mobod, new MyMotionImplementation());
 

Alternatively, you can create a subclass of Motion::Custom which creates the Implementation itself:

 class MyMotion : public Motion::Custom {
 public:
   MyMotion(MobilizedBody& mobod) 
     : Motion::Custom(mobod, new MyMotionImplementation()) {}
 };
 

This allows a user to simply write

 MyMotion(mobod);
 

and not worry about implementation classes or creating objects on the heap. If you do this, your Motion::Custom handle subclass must not have any data members or virtual methods. If it does, it will not work correctly. Instead, store all data in the Implementation subclass.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Custom	(	MobilizedBody &	mobod,
		Implementation *	implementation
	)

Create a Custom motion.

Parameters:

	mobod	the MobilizedBody to which this Motion should be added
	implementation	the object which implements the custom Motion. The Motion::Custom takes over ownership of the implementation object, and deletes it when the Motion itself is deleted.
