ehofman ca224d0ea3 Melchior FRANZ:
- lights are by default off (what was I thinking?!?)
- setters return "me" reference by default, for easier code obfuscation:
  foo = aircraft.light.new("/foo").prop().switch(1);    :-)
- a few mebmers renamed; light.set() -> light.switch(); nodes are named *N
  to avoid collisions and to show relations (switch() <-> switchN)
- yet more (too much?) documentation

# These classes provide basic functions for use in aircraft specific
# Nasal context. Note that even if a class is called "door" or "light"
# this doesn't mean that it can't be used for other purposes.
#
# Class instances don't have to be assigned to variables. They do also
# work if they remain anonymous. It's even a good idea to keep them
# anonymous if you don't need further access to their members. On the
# other hand, you can assign the class and apply setters at the same time:
#
# aircraft.light.new("sim/model/foo/beacon"); # anonymous
# strobe = aircraft.light.new("sim/model/foo/strobe").cont().switch(1);
#
#
# Classes do create properties, but they don't usually overwrite the contents
# of an existing property. This makes it possible to preset them in
# a *-set.xml file or on the command line. For example:
#
# $ fgfs --aircraft=bo105 --prop:/controls/doors/door[0]/position-norm=1
#
#
# Wherever a property argument can be given, this can either be a path,
# or a node (i.e. property node hash). In return, the property node can
# always be accessed directly as member "node", and turned into a path
# string with node.getPath():
#
# beacon = aircraft.light.new("sim/model/foo/beacon");
# print(beacon.node.getPath());
#
# strobe_node = props.globals.getNode("sim/model/foo/strobe", 1);
# strobe = aircraft.light.new(strobe_node, 0.05, 1.0);
#
#
# The classes implement only commonly used features, but are easy to
# extend, as all class members are accessible from outside. For example:
#
# # add custom property to door node:
# frontdoor.node.getNode("name", 1).setValue("front door");
#
# # add method to class instance (or base class -> aircraft.door.print)
# frontdoor.print = func { print(me.position.getValue()) };
#

# door
# ==============================================================================
# class for objects moving at constant speed, with the ability to
# reverse moving direction at any point. Appropriate for doors, canopies, etc.
#
# SYNOPSIS:
# door.new(<property>, <swingtime> [, <startpos>]);
#
# property ... door node: property path or node
# swingtime ... time in seconds for full movement (0 -> 1)
# startpos ... initial position (default: 0)
#
# PROPERTIES:
# ./position-norm (double) (default: <startpos>)
# ./enabled (bool) (default: 1)
#
# EXAMPLE:
# canopy = aircraft.door.new("sim/model/foo/canopy", 5);
# canopy.open();
#

# door.toggle() -> move to opposite end position

# door.stop() -> stop movement
stop : func { me.move(me.getpos()) },
# door.move(double) -> move to arbitrary position

# light
# ==============================================================================
# class for generation of pulsing values. Appropriate for controlling
# beacons, strobes, etc.
#
# SYNOPSIS:
# light.new(<property> [, <ontime> [, <offtime> [, <switch>]]]);
#
# property ... light node: property path or node
# ontime ... time that the light is on when blinking (default: 0.5 [s])
# offtime ... time that the light is off when blinking (default: <ontime>)
# switch ... property path or node to use as switch (default: ./enabled)
# instead of ./enabled
#
# PROPERTIES:
# ./state (bool) (default: 0)
# ./enabled (bool) (default: 0) except if <switch> given)
#
# EXAMPLES:
# aircraft.light.new("sim/model/foo/beacon", 0.4); # anonymous light
# strobe = aircraft.light.new("sim/model/foo/strobe", 0.05, 1.0,
# "controls/lighting/strobe");
# strobe.switch(1);
