Class GearJoint

java.lang.Object
org.jbox2d.dynamics.joints.Joint
org.jbox2d.dynamics.joints.GearJoint

public class GearJoint extends Joint
A gear joint is used to connect two joints together. Either joint can be a revolute or prismatic joint. You specify a gear ratio to bind the motions together: coordinate1 + ratio * coordinate2 = constant The ratio can be negative or positive. If one joint is a revolute joint and the other joint is a prismatic joint, then the ratio will have units of length or units of 1/length.

Warning:
The revolute and prismatic joints must be attached to fixed bodies (which must be body1 on those joints)., You have to manually destroy the gear joint if joint1 or joint2 is destroyed.
