Function hektor::free_functions::determinant

pub fn determinant<M: CanDeterminant>(m: M) -> f32

Computes the determinant of a matrix.

This gives the scale factor of a unit square (or cube, or hyper-cube) in the matrix's modified coordinate space:

• Positive means that the output orientation is generally similar.
• Negative means that the output orientation is flipped.
• Zero means that the output loses at least 1 dimension (meaning that hyper-cubes become cubes, squares, lines, or points).
