Creates the JavaScript Canvas path that represents the shape of this object
in the given Canvas context using body coordinates. Note that this calls
CanvasRenderingContext2D.beginPath() which discards any currently defined path and
begins a new one. Also, this concept of 'path' is different from the path of Edges
that makes up a Polygon (though the Canvas path is created from those Polygon
paths).

Returns vertical coordinate of bottom-most point of this body, based on its current position and orientation, in world coordinates. This is approximate when the body has curved edges; because this looks at all the Vertex's of the body, and curved edges have a series of 'decorated' Vertexes on them which don't capture the exact nature of the geometric curve.

Returns the elasticity used when calculating collisions; a value of 1.0 means perfect elasticity where the kinetic energy after collision is the same as before (extremely bouncy), while a value of 0 means no elasticity (no bounce). A collision uses the lesser elasticity value of the two bodies involved.

Returns vertical coordinate of left-most point of this body, based on its current position and orientation, in world coordinates. This is approximate when the body has curved edges; because this looks at all the Vertex's of the body, and curved edges have a series of 'decorated' Vertexes on them which don't capture the exact nature of the geometric curve.
vertical coordinate of left-most point of this body, in world coordinates
Returns the minimum height that this body's center of gravity can reach, used for potential energy calculations. Put another way: this is how low the center of gravity of this body can be when resting on the ground, and the ground is at height zero.
the minimum height this body can reach.
Name of this SimObject, either the language-independent name for scripting purposes or the localized name for display to user.
The language-independent name should be the same as the English version but capitalized and with spaces and dashes replaced by underscore, see Util.toName, nameEquals.
The name should give an idea of the role of the SimObject in the simulation. This allows us to to treat an object in a special way depending on its name. For example, we might use the name to decide what type of DisplayObject to create to represent the SimObject.
Optional _opt_localized: booleantrue means return the localized version of the name;
default is false which means return the language independent name.

Returns vertical coordinate of right-most point of this body, based on its current position and orientation, in world coordinates. This is approximate when the body has curved edges; because this looks at all the Vertex's of the body, and curved edges have a series of 'decorated' Vertexes on them which don't capture the exact nature of the geometric curve.

The normal vector (if any) used in the special edge proximity test. When a special
edge has been specified, that Edge that takes priority for collision handling, as in a
wall object, and this method returns the normal vector to use for special proximity
testing. Otherwise this returns null and regular proximity testing is done. A normal
is a unit-length Vector that is perpendicular to an Edge. This maintains a cache to
avoid computational costs.

Returns vertical coordinate of top-most point of this body, based on its current position and orientation, in world coordinates.

Returns the name of the specified variable. For more understandable code, you can use the enum RB instead of these index numbers.

Returns the index into the VarsList for this RigidBody's first variable (the x-position). The VarsList contains 6 variables for each RigidBody,
0. x-position,

2. y-position,
3. y-velocity,
4. angle,
5. angular velocity
For more understandable code, you can use the enum RB instead of these index numbers.

or -1 if this body is not in the VarsList.
Returns velocity of the given point on this object. The point is specified in body coordinates, but the velocity is in world coordinates.
Optional _p_body: GenericVectorthe point to find the velocity of, in body coordinates; if undefined, then center of mass is used
the velocity of the given point, in world coordinates
Returns velocity tolerance used to determine if this RigidBody is in contact with another RigidBody.
Velocity tolerance is set on each RigidBody, but we expect it to be the same for all RigidBodys. ImpulseSim 'owns' the velocity tolerance, it is merely passed along to the RigidBody because it is needed during collision finding and RigidBody has no way of finding ImpulseSim.
Note however that because Scrim is immutable, it always returns zero for velocity tolerance. In this case, use the velocity tolerance of the other non-Scrim RigidBody involved in the collision.

Returns moment of inertia about center of mass. This measures how much force is needed to rotate the body about the center of mass. Note that this is the number set via setMomentAboutCM multiplied by the mass of the body.
moment of inertia about center of mass
Returns the linear and angular momentum of this body. Angular momentum about a fixed point in space is defined as
I_cm vw k + r x m v_cm
where:
I_cm = moment about center of mass
vw = angular velocity
k = unit z vector,
r = vector from a fixed point to the center of mass (cm)
m = mass
v_cm = velocity of center of mass
cross product in the plane is (ax,ay,0) x (bx,by,0) = k(ax by - ay bx) so we get
I_cm w + m (rx vy - ry vx)
take the fixed point to be the origin (0,0), so (rx,ry) is center of mass.

Makes an internal copy of the geometry of this RigidBody, which is used for future collision checking. This copy is a record of the last location of this object, so that collision checking can determine how the object moved over the last time step. For example, a small object moving at high velocity can pass through a narrow object in a single time step; there is then no interpenetration of the two objects, but if you use the previous position of the small fast object you can see that it has passed through the narrow object. See getOldCoords, eraseOldCoords.
Sets the collision distance accuracy, a fraction between zero and one; when the
collision distance is within accuracy * targetGap of the target gap distance, then
the collision is considered close enough to handle (apply an impulse).

Sets the angle in radians of counter-clockwise rotation of this object around its
center of mass. Angle zero draws the object in the same orientation as in body

Set the mass of this MassObject.
Note that when setting the mass on a MassObject you should also set accordingly the moment of inertia about center of mass, see setMomentAboutCM.
the mass of this MassObject
Sets the moment of inertia about the center of mass for this body divided by the
mass of this body. The moment of inertia, Icm, measures how much force is needed to
rotate the body about the center of mass. Icm depends on the shape of the object and
how mass is distributed. For a thin rectangular plate:
Icm = mass * (width^2 + height^2) / 12
For a thin circular plate:
Icm = mass * radius^2 / 2
Note that momentAboutCM returns the number specified here multiplied by the mass of the body.

Set the linear velocity of this objects's center of mass, and (optional) angular velocity of rotation about the objects's center of mass.

Optional _height: numberthe vertical world coordinate where this body has zero
potential energy; NaN means to use default level;

Returns a minimal string representation of this object, usually giving just identity information like the class name and name of the object.
For an object whose main purpose is to represent another Printable object, it is
recommended to include the result of calling toStringShort on that other object.
For example, calling toStringShort() on a DisplayShape might return something like
this:
DisplayShape{polygon:Polygon{'chain3'}}

The fixed background to which objects can be attached with Springs, Joints or Ropes; it is an immutable singleton object. Access the singleton Scrim object via getScrim.
As a RigidBody, Scrim has infinite mass, infinite extent, and never moves. Its body coordinates are the same as world coordinates.
Scrim does not collide with anything, so it is excluded from the collision and contact detection phases of the physics engine. It can however appear in a ConnectorCollision which are generated by Joint or Rope objects.
Scrim is never on the list of bodies in RigidBodySim, only Polygons appear on that list.
