Get the angular velocity of the Body.

The angular velocity is the rate of change of angle over time.


It is changed in World:update by applying torques, off centre forces/impulses, and angular damping. It can be set directly with Body:setAngularVelocity.


If you need the rate of change of position over time, use Body:getLinearVelocity.

Function

Synopsis

w = Body:getAngularVelocity( )

Arguments

None.

Returns

number w
The angular velocity in radians/second.
