Clue window
The clue window contains the clue editor.
Clue editor
The clue editor allows you to define / modify a clue.
A clue can be defined / modified by changing the following settings:
The General panel defines the most important settings of a clue.
| Variable |
Description |
| Parameter |
| Parameter |
Requirements |
Description |
| Displacement |
1 point |
Displacement of a single
point |
| Position |
1 point |
Position of a single
point |
| Velocity |
1 point |
Speed of a single
point |
| Acceleration |
1 point |
Acceleration of a single
point |
| Projection angle |
1 point |
Projection angle of a single
point |
| Distance |
1 segment, or
2 points |
Distance between two
points. |
| Angle |
2 segments, or
4 points, or
1 segment and 2 points, or
1 segment and a reference vector, or
2 points and a reference vector |
Angle between two segments. |
| Angular velocity |
2 segments, or
4 points, or
1 segment and 2 points, or
1 segment and a reference vector, or
2 points and a reference vector |
Angular velocity between two
segments. |
| Angular acceleration |
2 segments, or
4 points, or
1 segment and 2 points, or
1 segment and a reference vector, or
2 points and a reference vector |

| Component |
|
| Points |
1 - 4 points |
| Segments |
1 or 2 segments |
| Reference vectors |
Reference vector and an optional
look at vector |
The Segments panel allows you to change the definition of the
segment(s).
When you select a parameter that requires two or more points (distance,
angle, angular velocity, or
angular acceleration), the segment panel becomes active.
- Select a segment: the start point and end
point of the segment are the
two points defining the
segment;
- Select the two points
manually. A segment can be defined between any two
points.
The Reference vectors panel allows you to define
reference vectors
(rather than a second segment). Angular parameters (angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration) can be
defined in two possible ways:
- The angle between a segment
(through two points) and
another segment (also through two
points), or
- The angle between a segment
(through two points) and a
reference vector.
The following two vectors can be edited using a
vector editor:
The Hints panel allow you to determine how a clue is visualized in a chart, renderer, or
view
editor.
| Hint |
Description |
| Shadow |

view editor. |
| Projection |
Enables/disables projection lines to the floor. Used in the
view editor. |
| Color |

view editor. |
| Segment |
Segment width in pixels. Used in
view editor. |
| Trace |
Trace width in pixels. Used in chart and
view editor. |
| Transparency |
Transparency/opacity of line or chart. Used in chart and
view editor. |
