Comments on CHRONO example bow_control.r3d

Move an excavator bow by using CHRONO controls

What to do: load the example file, select the 'controls' object and press the 'Open panel..' button which appears on the tool bar. As the panel with the three sliders opens, play with them to see how the bow moves on the screen. You do not need to have animation running

This example shows how you can create custom interfaces to control CHRONO variables by means of sliders, etc.

For instance, this example includes a 'panel' with three sliders, ready for you, where you can control the length of the three hydraulic actuators.
Panels can be created with the GUI customization tools of Realsoft, by dragging Chrono GUI controls like buttons, sliders etc. into windows (use the menu "Customization - Available Objects Windows", go to the 'misc' tab).
Each slider modifies a specific Javascript variable of the mechanism (namely, in this example the imposed length of the three actuators is modified).
