<H3>Method Statement</H3>
There are a number of object methods for each class which return
no value but are usually associated with setting the attributes of
an object such as an instrument or device. These methods are not
listed here since they are covered in detail in section
<A HREF="UserManual_84.html">*</A>.
<P>Briefly though examples of the kind of things which we might do with
object methods include setting the amount of damping for a region of
an instrument; setting the height from which a hammer should be
dropped; and setting the velocity and downward force for a bow.
The example below shows how these tasks would be implemented in
practice in a script:
<P><PRE>
Rectangle rect(100 Hz, 200 Hz, 20 secs);
Bow bow;
Hammer hammer;
Init:
// Damp the bottom left hand corner of the rectangular
// sheet with a value of 0.5
rect.setDamping(left, 0.1, bottom, 0.2, 0.5);
// Set the drop height of the hammer
hammer.setHeight(10.0).reset();
// Set the initial velocity and downward force of the
// bow
bow.setVelocity(0.0).setForce(1.5);
...
</PRE>
