Matter.js Gravity Point

Question

Is it possible to create a single gravity / force point in matter.js that is at the center of x/y coordinates?

I have managed to do it with d3.js but wanted to enquire about matter.js as it has the ability to use multiple polyshapes.

Ah, the illustrious answer has arisen.

not sure if there is any interest in this. I'm a fan of what you have created. In my latest project, I used matter-js but I needed elements to gravitate to a specific point, rather than into a general direction. That was very easily accomplished. I was wondering if you are interested in that feature as well, it would not break anything.

All one has to do is setting engine.world.gravity.isPoint = true and then the gravity vector is used as point, rather than a direction. One might set:

engine.world.gravity.x = 355;
engine.world.gravity.y = 125;
engine.world.gravity.isPoint = true;

and all objects will gravitate to that point.

If this is not within the scope of this engine, I understand. Either way, thanks for the great work.
