[ODE] Heightfield2

[LR]

Hi,

Ok , of course reading body position was not good :) I changed it in the
sample code.

but it was not the problem:

Try to insert a rotation offset into the test_cyl and with those lines:

#ifdef CYL
>   cylbody = dBodyCreate (world);
>   dMassSetSphere (&m,1,RADIUS);
>   dMassAdjust (&m,WMASS);
>   dBodySetMass (cylbody,&m);
>   cylgeom = dCreateCylinder(0, RADIUS, WHEELW);
>   dGeomSetBody (cylgeom,cylbody);
>   
>   //LR
>   dMatrix3 mat;
>   dRFromAxisAndAngle(mat,1.0f,0.0f,0.0f,M_PI/2.0);
>   dGeomSetOffsetRotation(cylgeom,mat);
>   //END LR
>   
>   dSpaceAdd (space, cylgeom);
> #endif

Ok, its a problem in the test code, not geom offsets.  It is drawing the
cylinder at the body's orientation rather than the geom's.

Replace this:
  const dReal *CPos = dBodyGetPosition(cylbody);
  const dReal *CRot = dBodyGetRotation(cylbody); With this:
  const dReal *CPos = dGeomGetPosition(cylgeom);
  const dReal *CRot = dGeomGetRotation(cylgeom);

Seems to work fine apart from that, so I checked in that change, with an
ifdef to add the geom offset rotation.  Other tests may have the same
problem, so be aware of it if you are experimenting with offsets.

Thanks,
Geoff
