Vector2

A two dimensional vector

Usage

import {Vector2} from '@math.gl/core';
const vector = new Vector2(1, 1);

Inheritance

Vector2 extends Vector extends MathArray extends Array

Many commonly used Vector2 methods are inherited from Vector and MathArray:

• Vector2.clone()
• Vector2.copy(array)
• Vector2.set(...args)
• Vector2.fromArray(array, offset = 0)
• Vector2.toString()
• Vector2.toArray(array = [], offset = 0)
• Vector2.equals(array)
• Vector2.exactEquals(array)
• Vector2.validate(array = this)
• Vector2.check(array = this)
• Vector2.normalize()

Also note that Vector2 is a subclass of the built in JavaScript Array and can thus be used wherever an Array is expected. It can e.g. supplied as a parameter to any function expecting an Array.

Members

x, y

Gets or sets element 0 or 1 respectively

constructor

Creates a new, empty Vector2, or copies an existing Vector2

constructor((x = 0), (y = 0));
constructor([x, y]);

set

set(x, y)

add

Add zero or more vectors to current vector.

add(...vectors)

subtract

Subtract zero or more vectors from current vector

horizontalAngle()

Note: returns Math.atan2(this.y, this.x)

verticalAngle()

Note: returns Math.atan2(this.x, this.y)

transform(matrix4 : Number[16]) : Vector4

Equivalent to transformAsPoint.

transformAsPoint(matrix4 : Number[16]) : Vector4

Transforms this vector by the provided 4x4 matrix as a point (i.e includes translations).

Note: Implicitly extends the vector to [x, y, 0, 1] before applying the 4x4 transformation.

transformAsVector(matrix4 : Number[16]) : Vector4

Transforms this vector by the provided 4x4 matrix as a vector (i.e does not include translations).

Note: Implicitly extends the vector to [x, y, 0, 0] before applying the 4x4 transformation.

transformByMatrix3(matrix3 : Number[9]) : Vector4

Transforms this vector by the provided 3x3 matrix.

transformByMatrix2x3(matrix2 : Number[6]) : Vector4

Transforms this vector by the provided 2x3 matrix (A pure 2D transform that can incorporate translations).

transformByMatrix2(matrix2 : Number[4]) : Vector4

Transforms this vector by the provided 2x2 matrix.
