Method Detail
{Vect3d}
add(other)
Adds another vector to this vector and returns a new vector
param other {Vect3d} other vector
- Parameters:
- other
- Returns:
- {Vect3d} new vector with the result
addToThis(other)
Adds another vector to this vector, modifying this vector
param other {Vect3d} other vector
- Parameters:
- other
{Vect3d}
clone()
Creates a copy of this vector and returns it
copyTo(tgt)
Copies the content of this vector to another vector
- Parameters:
- tgt
- {Vect3d} Target vector
{Vect3d}
crossProduct(p)
returns the cross product of this vector with another vector as new vector.
- Parameters:
- p
- Returns:
- {Vect3d} a new vector with the result cross product
divideThisThroughVect(v)
Divides each coordinate with the coordinate of another vector, modifying this vector.
- Parameters:
- v
divideThroughVect(v)
Divides each coordinate with the coordinate of another vector, returning the result as a new vector.
- Parameters:
- v
dotProduct(other)
returns the dot procduct of this vector with another vector
- Parameters:
- other
equals(other)
Returns true if this vector equals another vector. Doesn't use the comparison operator but the Core.equals function.
- Parameters:
- other
- {Vect3d} other vector
equalsByNumbers(x, y, z)
Returns true if this vector equals x, y, and z given as argument. Doesn't use the comparison operator but the Core.equals function.
- Parameters:
- x
- y
- z
equalsZero()
Returns true if this vector equals zero. Doesn't use the comparison operator but the Core.iszero function.
getDistanceFromSQ(v)
Returns the squared distance to another point
- Parameters:
- v
- {Vect3d} another point
getDistanceTo(v)
Returns the distance to another point
- Parameters:
- v
- {Vect3d} another point
getHorizontalAngle()
Get the rotations that would make a (0,0,1) direction vector point in the same direction as this direction vector.
This utility method is very useful for
orienting scene nodes towards specific targets. For example, if this vector represents the difference
between two scene nodes, then applying the result of getHorizontalAngle() to one scene node will point
it at the other one.
getLength()
