PaperAirplaneNode and SimpleClockIcon

PaperAirplaneNode and SimpleClockIcon (both from scenerystack/scenery-phet) are two small, unrelated, non-interactive icon Nodes. They're grouped on this page because each is a single self-contained shape with no state to bind to — construct once, style with ordinary options, done. SimpleClockIcon in particular never animates or ticks; it's a frozen decorative face, not a live clock.

import { PaperAirplaneNode, SimpleClockIcon } from 'scenerystack/scenery-phet';

PaperAirplaneNode

PaperAirplaneNode extends Path and draws the exact paper-airplane silhouette used in the PhET logo, traced from the coordinates in PhET's logo artwork file. It's a fixed shape — there's no way to change its proportions, only how it's painted and transformed like any other Path.

const airplaneIcon = new PaperAirplaneNode( {
  scale: 0.5
} );

Option	Default	Effect
fill	PhetColorScheme.PHET_LOGO_YELLOW	Fill color; override for a monochrome or themed variant

PaperAirplaneNodeOptions also accepts any other PathOptions (stroke, opacity, scale, …). Because the underlying shape is fixed, resize it with scale rather than trying to pass width/height options — there are none.

SimpleClockIcon

SimpleClockIcon extends Node and draws a plain circular clock face — an outer circle, a small center dot, and two clock hands frozen at a fixed "4 o'clock" position. It's intended purely as a visual stand-in for "this represents time" (e.g. a button icon), not as a live or interactive clock face.

const clockIcon = new SimpleClockIcon( 20, {
  fill: 'white',
  stroke: 'black',
  lineWidth: 2
} );

Constructor

new SimpleClockIcon( radius: number, providedOptions?: SimpleClockIconOptions )

Option	Default	Effect
fill	'white'	Fill of the clock face circle
stroke	'black'	Stroke of the face circle, the center dot's fill, and both hands
lineWidth	2	Stroke width of both clock hands

The hands are permanently fixed at "4 o'clock"

SimpleClockIcon has no Property, no animation, and no way to point the hands at an arbitrary time — the hour and minute hand angles are hard-coded. If you need a clock that reflects live simulation time, build a dedicated animated Node instead; use SimpleClockIcon only where a generic "clock" glyph is all that's needed.
