fcppt.math.vector

Description

A class representing static n-dimensional vectors.

Vector overview

A vector is a one-dimensional statically sized array, useful for representing points and directions. For a general introduction on vectors, see Math Classes. For vector's interoperation with fcppt::math::matrix::object, see Operators.

Vector and dim

A dimension is very similar to a vector, see Motivation. Vectors and dims can be converted into each other, see Converting from and to vectors.

Additionally, there are arithmetic operators that take a vector on the left-hand side and a dim on the right-hand side. These are defined in fcppt/math/vector/dim.hpp.

float3_vec vec2(10.F, 20.F, 30.F);
float3_dim const dim(1.4F, 1.5F, 1.6F);
// dims can be added to or subtracted from vectors
std::cout << (vec2 - dim) << '\n';

Typedef Documentation

◆ static_

using fcppt::math::vector::static_ = typedef fcppt::math::vector::object<T, N, fcppt::math::detail::static_storage<T, N> >

Typedef helper for static vectors.

Template Parameters
TThe vector's value_type

See the introduction to fcppt::math::vector::object for more information on static vectors (and on this class).

Function Documentation

◆ angle_between()

fcppt::optional::object< T > fcppt::math::vector::angle_between ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S1 > const _from,
fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S2 > const _to 
)

Calculates the angle between two floating point vectors.

The function returns nothing if any of the two vectors have length zero.

If you want to calculate the angle between two vectors whose value type is not a floating point type, see fcppt::math::vector::angle_between_cast .

If you want to calculate the signed angle between two 2D vectors, use fcppt::math::vector::signed_angle_between or fcppt::math::vector::signed_angle_between_cast .

See also
fcppt::math::vector::angle_between_cast
fcppt::math::vector::signed_angle_between
fcppt::math::vector::signed_angle_between_cast
Warning
The behaviour is undefined if _from or _to are very close to zero.

◆ angle_between_cast()

fcppt::optional::object< Dest > fcppt::math::vector::angle_between_cast ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S1 > const _from,
fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S2 > const _to 
)

Calculates the angle between two arbitrary vector types.

Template Parameters
DestThe angle type. Must be a floating point type.

This function is a generalization of fcppt::math::vector::angle_between in that it calculates the angle between two arbitrary vectors, instead of two floating point vectors.

See also
fcppt::math::vector::angle_between
Warning
The behaviour is undefined if _from or _to are very close to zero.

◆ at()

fcppt::container::to_reference_type< std::remove_reference_t< Vector > > fcppt::math::vector::at ( Vector _value)
inline

Access an element using a compile-time constant.

Template Parameters
VectorMust be an fcppt::math::vector::object.

◆ atan2()

template<typename T , typename S >
fcppt::optional::object< T > fcppt::math::vector::atan2 ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T, 2, S > const _vector)
inline

Computes atan2 of a vector.

Computes atan2(_vector.y(),_vector.x()). In case x or y is zero, nothing is returned.

The standard C++ functions std::atan2, defined in cmath, have the signature:

float atan2(float y,float x)
double atan2(double y,double x)
long double atan2(long double y,long double x)

These functions can be expressed more intuitively as taking a vector (of a floating-point type), since you don't have to remember to pass in (y,x) instead of (x,y). This is what happens in fcppt's atan2 function.

Template Parameters
TMust be a floating-point type.

◆ binary_map()

fcppt::math::vector::static_< std::invoke_result_t< Function, T1, T2 >, N > fcppt::math::vector::binary_map ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T1, N, S1 > const _left,
fcppt::math::vector::object< T2, N, S2 > const _right,
Function const _function 
)
inline

Maps over two vectors.

◆ bit_strings()

fcppt::array::object< fcppt::math::vector::static_< T, N >, fcppt::math::power_of_2< std::size_t >( fcppt::math::size_type{N})> fcppt::math::vector::bit_strings ( )

Generates vectors consisting of zeros and ones.

Template Parameters
TAn integral type

Generates the bit strings of type T in dimension N. Examples:

T = int,
N = 2:

(0,0)
(1,0)
(0,1)
(1,1)

T = int,
N = 3:
(0,0,0)
(1,0,0)
(0,1,0)
(1,1,0)
(0,0,1)
(1,0,1)
(0,1,1)
(1,1,1)

Example:

// In dimension 3, we have 2^3=8 vectors, so typedef an array of this size
// here:
// Outputs 0,0,0
std::cout << fcppt::array::get<0U>(vs) << '\n';
// Outputs 0,0,1
std::cout << fcppt::array::get<1U>(vs) << '\n';
// ...

T const  _divisor 
)

Division rounded up for signed vectors.

Applies fcppt::math::ceil_div_signed to each component. Returns nothing in case _divisor is zero.

◆ componentwise_equal()

bool fcppt::math::vector::componentwise_equal ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S1 > const _v1,
fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S2 > const _v2,

◆ hypersphere_to_cartesian()

fcppt::math::vector::static_< T, N+1U > fcppt::math::vector::hypersphere_to_cartesian ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S > const _angles)

Calculate the n dimensional polar coordinates, also called "hyperspherical coordinates".

Template Parameters
TThe vector's value_type
NThe vector's dimension type
SThe vector's storage type
Parameters
_anglesAn N-1 dimensional vector containing the angles in each dimension

The formula is taken from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersphere#Hyperspherical_coordinates

Given an (n-1)-dimensional angle vector this returns an n-dimensional unit vector in n-dimensional cartesian coordinates. If you want a scaled version of the result, do it yourself using operator*(T,vector).

Example:

// This code calculates a three-dimensional point from two angles (...of the 3D
// sphere), typically called azimuth an elevation
// The point type
typedef
// The angles type
typedef
std::numbers::pi_v<float>,
0.0f));

Note that in two dimensions, you have polar coordinates, and so you need one angle to denote a point on the unit circle. The point then has cartesian coordinates:

(cos(angle),sin(angle))

Just as expected.

In three dimensions, you need two angles, usually called azimuth and inclination to denote a point. The resulting point has the following coordinates:

(cos(inclination),cos(azimuth)*sin(inclination),sin(inclination)*sin(azimuth))

So, if azimuth and inclination are zero, you get the point (1,0,0). In a coordinate system where x points to the right, y to the top and z denotes the "depth" (goes into the screen or out of the screen), you are on the right boundary of the sphere.

The case where inclination is zero can be considered the sphere's "zenith" point, meaning a change in azimuth has no effect on the point's coordinate. This might be counter-intuitive if you're used to a sphere having the zenith point at the top. The formula for the hyperspherical coordinates, however, results in this slight "aberration".

If the inclination is not zero, changing the azimuth towards positive infinity results in a clockwise rotation around the x axis, assuming the viewer looks down the positive x axis.

Changing the inclination towards positive infinity results in a counterclockwise rotation around the z axis, assuming the viewer looks down the positive z axis.

◆ init()

template<typename Vector , typename Function >
Vector fcppt::math::vector::init ( Function const &  _function)
inline

Initializes a vector.

Calls _function for every index of the vector.

Template Parameters
VectorMust be a vector
FunctionMust be a function of type Vector::value_type (Vector::size_type)

◆ length() [1/2]

std::enable_if_t< std::is_floating_point_v< T >, T > fcppt::math::vector::length ( fcppt::math::vector::object< T, N, S > const _vec)
inline

Calculates the length of a vector.

This is the Euclidean distance (or 2 norm) of the vector. There are two variants of this function. One works only for floating point vectors (so you don't have to specify the return type). The other one works for arbitrary vectors and uses a cast internally.

Note
If you want the length squared, use fcppt::math::vector::length_square
See also
fcppt::math::vector::length_square

Example:

typedef
typedef
vector3f vf(1.0f,2.0f,3.0f);
vector3f vi(1,2,3);
// No need to specify the return type here, it'll be float.
float vf_length =
vf);
// It's not so clear here. So we specify "float" explicitly
float vi_length =
vi);
// Hopefully, this prints "true"
std::cout << (std::abs(vf_length - vi_length) < 0.001f);
