how can I add more drawings to my simulation

I'm currently programming the twin paradox simulation. I would like to add a rocket, and/or a couple of twins. Is there a way to insert them in the simulation if I have them as, say, a jpeg file? Or, else, are the more libraries of drawables? Thanks a lot

Sure.

1.- Open the simulation with EJS,

2.- in the View panel, add an Image element (2D or 3D depending on the number of dimensions of your drawing panel, I guess it is 2D for this simulation)

3.- Set the "Image file" property of the Image element to the JPEG file you want to display. The file must be located (copy it) to the same directory of your EJS model file (or in a subdirectory of it).

4.- Use it according to your model
