Vector2D

#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, Deserialize, Serialize)]
pub struct Vector2D {
    pub x: f32,
    pub y: f32,
}

Functions

Constructors

• new - creates a vector from the x and y coordinate
• from_coord - creates a vector from the x and y coordinate
• from_coords - creates a vector from the two x and y coordinates
• from_mag_theta - creates a vector from the given magnitude and degrees (in radians) from the x-axis
• ihat - creates the unit vector of the x-axis
• jhat - creates the unit vector of the y-axis

Methods

• perpendicular_cw - returns a vector that is perpendicular clockwise to the current vector
• perpendicular_ccw - returns a vector that is perpendicular counter clockwise to the current vector
• magnitude - returns the magnitude of the current vector
• direction_as_unit_vector - returns a unit vector with the same direction of the current vector
• direction - returns the degrees (theta) between the vector and the x-axis
• dot_product - returns the dot product of the current vector and other
• dot_product_with_angle - returns the dot product of the current vector and other using their magintudes and the angle between them
• cross_product - programmers implementation of the cross product between 2D vectors, since it doesn't exist

Traits

Vector2D implements the Add<f32>, Sub<f32>, Mul<f32>, Div<f32> traits.
