SYNOPSIS
use Math::Vec3;
my $v = new Math::Vec3; # Make a new vec3
my $v1 = new Math::Vec3(0,1,0);DESCRIPTION
METHODS
new
my $v = new Math::Vec3;
my $v1 = new Math::Vec3($v);
my $v2 = new Math::Vec3(1,2,3);
my $v3 = new Math::Vec3([1,2,3]); copy
Makes a copy
$v2 = $v1->copy;
$v2 = new Math::Vec3($v1);setValue(x,y,z)
Sets the value of the vector
$v1->setValue(1,2,3);setX(x)
Sets the first value of the vector
$v1->setX(1);
$v1->x = 1;
$v1->[0] = 1;setY(y)
Sets the second value of the vector
$v1->setY(2);
$v1->y = 2;
$v1->[1] = 2;setZ(z)
Sets the third value of the vector
$v1->setZ(3);
$v1->z = 3;
$v1->[2] = 3;getValue
Returns the @value of the vector
@v = $v1->getValue;x
getX
Returns the first value of the vector.
$x = $v1->getX;
$x = $v1->x;
$x = $v1->[0];y
getY
Returns the second value of the vector.
$y = $v1->getY;
$y = $v1->y;
$y = $v1->[1];z
getZ
Returns the third value of the vector
$z = $v1->getZ;
$z = $v1->z;
$z = $v1->[2];negate
$v = $v1->negate;
$v = -$v1;add(vec3)
$v = $v1->add($v2);
$v = $v1 + $v2;
$v1 += $v2;subtract(vec3)
$v = $v1->subtract($v2);
$v = $v1 - $v2;
$v1 -= $v2;multiply(scalar)
multiply(vec3)
$v = $v1->multiply($v2);
$v = $v1->multiply(2);
$v = $v1 * 2;
$v1 *= 2;divide(scalar)
divide(vec3)
$v = $v1->divide($v2);
$v = $v1->divide(2);
$v = $v1 / 2;
$v1 /= 2;dot(vec3)
$s = $v1->dot($v2);
$s = $v1 . $v2;
$s = $v1 . [ 2, 3, 4 ];cross(vec3)
$v = $v1->cross($v2);
$v = $v1 x $v2;
$v = $v1 x [ 2, 3, 4 ];length
Returns the length of the vector
$l = $v1->length;normalize
$v = $v1->normalize;eq(vec3)
my $bool = $v1->eq($v2);
my $bool = $v1 eq $v2;
my $bool = $v1 == $v2;ne(vec3)
my $bool = $v1->ne($v2);
my $bool = $v1 ne $v2;
my $bool = $v1 != $v2;toString()
Returns a string representation of the vector. This is used to overload the '""' operator, so that vector may be freely interpolated in strings.
my $v = new Math::Vec3(1,2,3,4);
print $v->toString; # "1 2 3"
print "$v"; # "1 2 3"SEE ALSO
