andy 57eea1be61 Melchior needs an equivalent of Perl's defined() function to test for
double-initialization of joystick blocks.  So here it is.

# Returns true if the first object is an instance of the second

# Invokes a FlightGear command specified by the first argument. The
# second argument specifies the property tree to be passed to the
# command as its argument. It may be either a props.Node object or a
# string, in which case it specifies a path in the global property
# tree.

if(isa(arg[1], props.Node)) { arg[1] = arg[1]._g }

# Returns the SGPropertyNode argument to the currently executing
# function. Wrapper for the internal _cmdarg function that retrieves
# the ghost handlet to the argument and wraps it in a
# props.Node object.
#
cmdarg = func { props.wrapNode(_cmdarg()) }

# Utility. Does what it you think it does.

abs = func { if(arg[0] < 0) { -arg[0] } else { arg[0] } }

# Convenience wrapper for the _interpolate function. Takes a
# single string or props.Node object in arg[0] indicating a target
# property, and a variable-length list of time/value pairs. Example:
#
# interpolate("/animations/radar/angle",
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0,
# 180, 1, 360, 1, 0, 0);
#
# This will swing the "radar dish" smoothly through 8 revolutions over
# 16 seconds. Note the use of zero-time interpolation between 360 and
# 0 to wrap the interpolated value properly.
#
interpolate = func {
if(isa(arg[0], props.Node)) { arg[0] = arg[0]._g; }
