This block plots the position of planetary bodys over time.
The connectors on the planet plotter input arrays of information. These arrays include all the information associated with the planet, including the position, mass, density, and type.
An animation object will be drawn on the worksheet window for each planet block that is connected to the plotter. The size of the object will be based on the mass and density of the object. The picture for the object will be based on which planet type is selected in the planet block.
The pictures used to represent the various planets are in a file called planets. This file needs to be in the Extend Extensions folder for the Planet Plotter block to function correctly.
CONNECTORS
The four input connectors input the arrays of planetary information output by the Planet blocks in the model. For a given planet to be plotted, you must connect the output connector of the planet to one of the input connectors of the plotter.
PARAMETERS
X: Y: Min: Max: The numbers typed in these four parameters determine the Min and Max values for the X and Y dimensions of the area that the plotter is going to draw on. What this does is set the scale for how the postions of the numbers will relate to each other. You will probably want to keep the total width and the total height the same as each other.
Animation
Plots the locations of up to four connected planet blocks.
