public class BallJoint
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements BallJoint

BallJoint represents an unconstrained joint between two bodies that pivot about a common anchor point.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. BallJoint node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DRigidJointNode] BallJoint represents an unconstrained joint between two bodies that pivot about a common anchor point. Contains two RigidBody nodes (containerField values body1, body2).

• Hint: RigidBodyPhysics component, level 2.

Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.
