Detailed Description

The SbVec4f class is a 4 dimensional vector with floating point coordinates.

This vector class is used by many other classes in Coin. It provides storage for a 3 dimensional homogeneoues vector (with the 4 components usually referred to as <x, y, z, w>) aswell as simple floating point arithmetic operations.

Member Function Documentation

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::setValue (const floatv[4]) [inline]

Set new coordinates for the vector from v. Returns reference to self.

See also:

getValue().

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::setValue (floatx, floaty, floatz, floatw) [inline]

Set new coordinates for the vector. Returns reference to self.

See also:

getValue().

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::setValue (const SbVec4d &v)

Sets the value from an SbVec4d instance.

const float * SbVec4f::getValue (void) const [inline]

Returns a pointer to an array of four floats containing the x, y, z and w coordinates of the vector.

See also:

setValue().

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

void SbVec4f::getValue (float &x, float &y, float &z, float &w) const [inline]

Returns the x, y, z and w coordinates of the vector.

See also:

setValue().

float & SbVec4f::operator[] (inti) [inline]

Index operator. Returns modifiable x, y, z or w component of vector.

See also:

getValue() and setValue().

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

const float & SbVec4f::operator[] (inti) const [inline]

Index operator. Returns x, y, z or w component of vector.

See also:

getValue() and setValue().

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

SbBool SbVec4f::equals (const SbVec4f &v, floattolerance) const

Compares the vector with v and returns TRUE if the distance between the vectors is smaller or equal to the square root of tolerance.

The comparison is done in 4D-space, i.e. the w component of the vector is not used to make x, y and z into Cartesian coordinates first.

Calculates and returns the result of taking the dot product of this vector and v.

void SbVec4f::getReal (SbVec3f &v) const

Returns the vector as a Cartesian 3D vector in v. This means that the 3 first components x, y and z will be divided by the fourth, w.

Return the length of the vector in 4D space.

float SbVec4f::sqrLength (void) const [inline]

Return the square of the length of the vector in 4D space.

void SbVec4f::negate (void) [inline]

Negate the vector.

float SbVec4f::normalize (void)

Normalize the vector to unit length. Return value is the original length of the vector before normalization.

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::operator*= (floatd) [inline]

Multiply components of vector with value d. Returns reference to self.

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::operator/= (floatd) [inline]

Divides components of vector with value d. Returns reference to self.

Reimplemented in SbColor4f.

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::operator+= (const SbVec4f &v) [inline]

Adds this vector and vector v. Returns reference to self.

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::operator-= (const SbVec4f &v) [inline]

Subtracts vector v from this vector. Returns reference to self.

SbVec4f SbVec4f::operator- (void) const [inline]

Non-destructive negation operator. Returns a new SbVec4f instance which has all components negated.

See also:

negate().

void SbVec4f::print (FILE *fp) const

Dump the state of this object to the file stream. Only works in debug version of library, method does nothing in an optimized compile.
