Examples

# Simple phase definition
stance <- Phase("stance", "Stance Phase", "hs1", "to", color = "#E8F4F8")

# Phase with subphases
stance <- Phase("stance", "Stance Phase", "hs1", "to", color = "#E8F4F8",
                subphases = list(
                  Phase("loading", "Loading Response", "hs1", "ff"),
                  Phase("midstance", "Midstance", "ff", "ho"),
                  Phase("propulsion", "Propulsion", "ho", "to")
                ))
