Class DistanceJoint

java.lang.Object
  org.jbox2d.dynamics.joints.Joint
      org.jbox2d.dynamics.joints.DistanceJoint

public class DistanceJoint
extends Joint

A distance joint constrains two points on two bodies to remain at a fixed distance from each other. You can view this as a massless, rigid rod.
