rotate a rigid body

How to rotate a 3d rigid body?
Apply torque to it?

I m using c# wrapper of Newton

I m using wpf for rendering

Using NewtonBodySetMatrix to rotate a body will work.
BUT if you want a reel physic approach, call NewtonBodySetOmega in callback.
Because NewtonBodySetMatrix is like teleportation, and bodies could go trought each other and result in explosion for newton engine.

Thank you Berserkguard, you right. I updated the wiki.

Use NewtonBodySetTorque NewtonBodyAddTorque or NewtonBodySetOmega for dynamic body.

But If you juste want to rotate once for all your body (static or dynamic) at a specific angle, use NewtonBodySetMatrix.
