A simple 3D vector library

v3d is a simple vector library with the common operations.

Usage

If you have Open Dylan 2022.1 or later, the program dylan is already installed as part of that release. Create your new project with dylan new application <name>, and edit the file dylan-package.json created. Just add v3d in dependencies.

Quick summary of v3d

The module v3d exports the following features:

  • <v3> and v3 to create instances.

  • Query dimensions: v-x, v-y, v-z.

  • Infix operations: +, -, *, /, negative, * (scalar multiplication), and =.

  • Other operations: squared, magnitude, cross-product, normalize and distance.

  • Queries: unit? and zero?

  • Utility: $v3-zero and similar.

See a detailed explanation with examples in the The v3d library link.

Note

The vectors are read-only. You can’t change the dimensions without creating a new instance. There are only getters methods and no setters.
