Comments on Bullet User Guide #679

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Bullet User Guide from 
http://bullet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Bullet_User_Manual.pdf
2. Look at page 29, in section about Constraints.
3. Figure 5 seems a bit misleading to me since it doesn't look that mechanism 
allows rotation about the constrained axis. See the image 
https://www.panda3d.org/manual/images/b/b4/BulletSlider.png from the web page 
https://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php/Bullet_Constraints for a figure that 
seems better to me. I think it's better because the connection is round instead 
of rectangular.
4. There's a typo in the section titled "Cone twist constraint"
"To create ragdolls, the conve twist constraint", conve should be cone I 
believe.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
Thanks

The comments are right, the documentation needs to be updated.

We started a new user guide, using Latex, under bullet/docs, and will fix it 
there,
and create new pictures.

Yeah I saw those .tex files, but they didn't seem to correspond to the User 
Manual for 2.80. I guess it's still a work in progress. Are you planning to do 
a big copy and paste of everything from the 2.80 manual?

The old user manual was using Word with a proprietary template from Sony,
so I started using Latex fully open source.

It will need to be a smart copy and paste from Word -> Latex.

If you volunteer, please check out the Latex template, it is not too hard to 
add/change stuff,
and contributions are welcome :-)
