#[repr(C)]
pub struct Vec4 { pub x: f32, pub y: f32, pub z: f32, pub w: f32, }
Expand description

A set of four coordinates which may be interpreted as a point or vector in 4d space, or as a homogeneous 3d vector or point.

Generally this distinction between a point and vector is more of a pain than it is worth to distinguish on a type level, however when converting to and from homogeneous coordinates it is quite important.

Fields

x: f32y: f32z: f32w: f32

Implementations

Normalize self in-place by interpreting it as a homogeneous point, i.e. scaling the vector to ensure the homogeneous component has length 1.

Normalize self by interpreting it as a homogeneous point, i.e. scaling the vector to ensure the homogeneous component has length 1.

Convert self into a Vec3 by simply removing its w component.

Returns a constant unsafe pointer to the underlying data in the underlying type. This function is safe because all types here are repr(C) and can be represented as their underlying type.

Safety

It is up to the caller to correctly use this pointer and its bounds.

Returns a mutable unsafe pointer to the underlying data in the underlying type. This function is safe because all types here are repr(C) and can be represented as their underlying type.

Linearly interpolate between self and end by t between 0.0 and 1.0. i.e. (1.0 - t) * self + (t) * end.

For interpolating Rotors with linear interpolation, you almost certainly want to normalize the returned Rotor. For example,

let interpolated_rotor = rotor1.lerp(rotor2, 0.5).normalized();

For most cases (especially where performance is the primary concern, like in animation interpolation for games, this ‘normalized lerp’ or ‘nlerp’ is probably what you want to use. However, there are situations in which you really want the interpolation between two Rotors to be of constant angular velocity. In this case, check out Slerp.

Spherical-linear interpolation between self and end based on t from 0.0 to 1.0.

self and end should both be normalized or something bad will happen!

The implementation for SIMD types also requires that the two things being interpolated between are not exactly aligned, or else the result is undefined.

Basically, interpolation that maintains a constant angular velocity from one orientation on a unit hypersphere to another. This is sorta the “high quality” interpolation for Rotors, and it can also be used to interpolate other things, one example being interpolation of 3d normal vectors.

Note that you should often normalize the result returned by this operation, when working with Rotors, etc!

Tries to convert the source to Self in a lossy way, flooring any float value.

Errors
  • NaN - If a float value is NaN.
  • NotFinite - If a float value is infinity or negative infinity.
  • PosOverflow - If a float value would be greater than the the self.component max value.
  • NegOverflow - If a float value would be less than the self.component min value.

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.
