Class pv.Force

Represents a force that acts on particles. Note that this interface does not specify how to bind a force to specific particles; in general, forces are applied globally to all particles. However, some forces may be applied to specific particles or between particles, such as spring forces, through additional specialization.
Defined in: Force.js.
