aljabar
An experimental n-dimensional linear algebra and mathematics library for computer graphics, designed to be roughly compatible with cgmath.
The library provides:
- vectors:
Vector2
,Vector3
,Vector4
andVector<T, const N: usize>
- points:
Point2
,Point3
,Point4
andPoint<T, const N: usize>
- matrices:
Matrix2
,Matrix3
,Matrix4
andMatrix<T, const N: usize, const M: usize>
- a quaternion type:
Quaternion
- orthonormal (rotation) matrices:
Orthonormal
aljabar
supports Vectors and Matrices of any size and will provide
implementations for any mathematic operations that are supported by their
scalars. Additionally, aljabar can leverage Rust's type system to ensure that
operations are only applied to values that are the correct size. aljabar
can
do this while remaining no-std compatible.
aljabar
relies heavily on unstable Rust features such as const generics and thus
requires nightly to build.

Cargo Features
- The
mint
feature (off by default) adds a dependency to the mint crate and provides support for converting between aljabar types and mint types. - The
serde
feature (off by default) adds serialization/deserialization support from the serde crate. - The
rand
feature (off by default) allows you to create random points, vectors, and matrices by sampling from a random number source. - The
swizzle
feature (off by default) enables swizzle functions for vectors.
Contributions
Pull request of any nature are welcome, especially regaring performance improvements. Although a aljabar is generic with respect to dimensionality, algorithms specialized for certain dimensions are straightforward to add and are intended to replace the generic algorithms along the most common code paths in the future.
