Description
-----------

Groove constraint for 2D physics. This is useful for making a body "slide" through a segment placed in another.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_GrooveJoint2D_property_initial_offset:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **initial_offset** = ``25.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_initial_offset** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_initial_offset** **(** **)**

The body B's initial anchor position defined by the joint's origin and a local offset :ref:`initial_offset<class_GrooveJoint2D_property_initial_offset>` along the joint's Y axis (along the groove).

.. _class_GrooveJoint2D_property_length:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **length** = ``50.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_length** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_length** **(** **)**

The groove's length. The groove is from the joint's origin towards :ref:`length<class_GrooveJoint2D_property_length>` along the joint's local Y axis.
