7.6

Apply torque to the node

axis

The torque vector. Determines the orientation and strength of the rotational force.

duration = 0

The length of time that the torque is applied to the node. A value of 0 means the torque will be applied for one time step.

mode = viz.ABS_GLOBAL

One of the following modes:

Torque modes
viz.ABS_GLOBAL	The torque vector is specified in global coordinates
viz.ABS_LOCAL	The torque vector is specified in the objects local coordinate system.

Torque affects the angular velocity of a node.

This command has no effect if physics is not defined on the node.

None

box = viz.add('box.wrl')
box.collideBox()
box.applyTorque( [0, 0, 10], .1)
