- limited or infinite
animations:
- CABRI animates all the mobile objects,
but only the points on objects, the circles and the numbers
become animated without end; animations of the other objects
stop after having traversed a distance function of the force of
the spring
- choice of animations by placement of
springs : after having chosen the spring tool (the spring is in
fact the metaphor of billiards whose ball will strike the
object: displacement towards reverse side of
spring)
- parameter SPRING
<PARAM
NAME="spring " VALUE="point 6 size 38, -12 ">
- to add this characteristic to the file
of CABRI figure which does not record the
springs
- if the toolbar is displayed, a clic with
the alt key pressed on the spring
display the value of the parameter to be indicated. It is
enough to defer it in the parameter spring to be added in page
HTML like animating point A above
- several springs can be placed: only one
parameter with the list of the values separated by spaces is
enough like here:
<PARAM NAME="spring" VALUE="point 6
size 38,-12 point 5 size 8,7 ">
- a clic stops animation, another
continues it; double-clic on the applet returns at the
beginning of animation (and erases the possible traces);
animation stops when the cursor of the mouse comes out of the
applet and takes it again as of its return on the applet.
