Interactive Physics

Attaching Pictures to Objects

BHS -> Staff -> Mr. Stanbrough ->IP How-To Notes -> this page

The Interactive Physics program allows you to attach a graphic (picture) to an object. It is a four-step process (assuming you already have the picture...):

Copy the picture to the Clipboard (Edit Menu)
Paste the picture into the Interactive Physics workspace.
Select both the picture and the object (shift click) you want to attach it to.
Select "Attach Picture" from the Object Menu

In the example below, a picture of a cow is attached to a circle. Be aware that this affects only the appearance of the simulation, it does not affect the operation of the simulation in any way. In other words, attaching a picture of an airplane to a square does not give the square any attributes of an airplane!

Paste the picture from the Clipboard into the Interactive Physics workspace. (Edit Menu)
