// This file defines a number of vector-based classes that are
|
|
// designed for specific uses. These all inherit from
|
|
// LVecBase[234][fd], which is the base of all linear algebra vectors.
|
|
//
|
|
// LPoint[234][fd]
|
|
//
|
|
// This should be used to represent a specific point in space. It
|
|
// inherits most properties from LVecBase.
|
|
//
|
|
// LVector[234][fd]
|
|
//
|
|
// This should be used to represent a vector, or a distance between
|
|
// two points in space.
|
|
//
|
|
// The distinction between LPoint and LVector is worth emphasizing.
|
|
// They differ in some subtle typing behavior (vector - vector =
|
|
// vector, point + vector = point, point - point = vector) and also in
|
|
// the way they are transformed when multiplied by a matrix (a point
|
|
// gets the translation component of the matrix, while the vector does
|
|
// not). Also, vector has length() and normalize() functions defined
|
|
// for it, while point does not.
|
|
//
|
|
// LPoint and LVector should be used whenever the concept of "point"
|
|
// or "vector" applies. If neither applies--for instance, if you are
|
|
// storing a plane equation or some such nonsense--use the base class,
|
|
// LVecBase.
|
|
//
|
|
// This file also typedefs the following:
|
|
//
|
|
// Vertex[fd]
|
|
// Normal[fd]
|
|
// TexCoord[fd]
|
|
// Color[fd]
|
|
// RGBColor[fd]
|
|
//
|
|
// These classes are typedefs of LPoint or LVector, as appropriate,
|
|
// and are intended to store a specific kind of rendering attribute.
|
|
// (Color is a four-component color; RGBColor is three-component.)
