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 homogeneous vector (with the 4 components usually referred to as <x, y, z, w>) as well as simple floating point arithmetic operations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SbVec4f::SbVec4f (void ) [inline]

The default constructor does nothing. The vector coordinates will be uninitialized until a call the setValue().

SbVec4f::SbVec4f (const float v[4]) [inline]

Constructs an SbVec4f instance with initial values from v.

SbVec4f::SbVec4f (float x, float y, float z, float w) [inline]

Constructs an SbVec4f instance with the initial homogeneous vector set to <x,y,z,w>.

SbVec4f::SbVec4f (const SbVec4d & v) [inline], [explicit]

Constructs an SbVec4f instance from an SbVec4d instance.

SbVec4f::SbVec4f (const SbVec4b & v) [inline], [explicit]

Constructs an SbVec4f instance from an SbVec4b instance.

Member Function Documentation

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::setValue (const float v[4]) [inline]

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

getValue().

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::setValue (float x, float y, float z, float w) [inline]

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

getValue().

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().

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[] (int i) [inline]

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

See also

getValue() and setValue().

const float & SbVec4f::operator[] (int i) const [inline]

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

See also

getValue() and setValue().

SbBool SbVec4f::equals (const SbVec4f & v, float tolerance) 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.

float SbVec4f::dot (const SbVec4f & v) const [inline]

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.

float SbVec4f::length (void ) const

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*= (float d) [inline]

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

SbVec4f & SbVec4f::operator/= (float d) [inline]

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

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 fp file stream. Only works in debug version of library, method does nothing in an optimized build.
