Does PyODE support composite objects?

Question

I am trying to create a composite object with PyODE, but I can not find any documentation regarding this.

Here is some information I found:

• this is for ODE, the engine by which PyODE is a wrapper, and is apparently the latest source of information: http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Manual_%28Collision_Detection%29#Composite_objects

Please note that it states:

Geometry transformation classes are deprecated. Use geom offsets instead.

for PyODE I could only find information on geometry transformation classes:

• http://pyode.sourceforge.net/api-1.2.0/public/ode.GeomTransform-class.html

without information on how to use them, other than this example for ODE:

• http://opende.sourceforge.net/mediawiki-1.6.10/index.php/HOWTO_composite_objects

and absolutely no geom offset information for PyODE. so that...

• Does anyone know if geometry offsets apply in PyODE? (How can I find out?)
• If geological offsets do not exist, is there somewhere an example of using the old geometry transform classes in PyODE?

Many thanks for your help!

A bit late reply, but I thought id would post it to others.

You need to call setOffsetPosition () on other geometries after they have been attached to the same body
