Basic Visualization: Tracer - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

Tracer

The Tracer tool is invaluable for visualizing motion, as it draws the trajectory or path a point follows during its movement. It can be attached to the center or any point on the body, with adjustable size, fade time (how long a trace remains visible), and point density (trace spacing). Tracers can also display velocity, acceleration, and angular velocity. SimPHY offers three tracer types: Solid, Dotted, Motion Trail (which leaves a trail of images of the body rather than tracing a single point) and Polygonal Lines .
