Overview

This is RenderWare's 2D vector object.

RwV2d's API covers most 2D vector needs, including: addition, dot product, length, assignment, normalization, scaling and subtraction. The object is primarily used in the context of RenderWare's 2D Immediate Mode API RwIm2D . It is also used to represent a 2D coordinate or point in other parts of the API.

Function Documentation

void RwV2dAdd (  RwV2d *    out,
const RwV2d *    ina,
const RwV2d *    inb
) 
 

RwV2dAdd is used to add together the specified 2D vectors. The result of the addition is placed in a third 2D vector.

Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
out  A pointer to the 2D vector that will receive the result of the addition
ina  A pointer to the first 2D vector
inb  A pointer to the second 2D vector
Returns:
None

RwV2dScale , RwV2dSub
void RwV2dAssign (  RwV2d *    target,
const RwV2d *    source
) 
 

RwV2dAssign is used to assign the first 2D vectors the value of the second 2D vector.

Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
target  A pointer to the target 2D vector that will receive the assignment
source  A pointer to the source 2D vector
Returns:
None

RwV2dAdd , RwV2dScale , RwV2dSub
RwReal RwV2dDotProduct (  const RwV2d *    ina,
const RwV2d *    inb
) 
 

RwV2dDotProduct is used to calculate the scalar product of the specified 2D vectors.

Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
ina  A pointer to the first 2D vector
inb  A pointer to the second 2D vector
Returns:
Returns an RwReal value equal to the scalar product of the two input vectors if successful or -1 if there is an error
RwReal RwV2dLength (  const RwV2d *    in ) 
 

RwV2dLength is used to calculate the length of the specified 2D vector.

Parameters:
in  A pointer to the 2D vector
Returns:
Returns an RwReal value equal to the vector's length if successful
See also:
RwV2dNormalize
void RwV2dLineNormal (  RwV2d *    out,
const RwV2d *    ina,
const RwV2d *    inb
) 
 

RwV2dLineNormal is used to find the unit normal to line between the specified 2D vectors.

Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
out  A pointer to the 2D vector that will receive the unit normal
ina  A pointer to the first 2D vector
inb  A pointer to the second 2D vector
Returns:
None
See also:
RwV2dAdd , RwV2dScale
RwReal RwV2dNormalize (  RwV2d *    out,
const RwV2d *    in
) 
 

RwV2dNormalize is used to normalize the specified 2D vector. The input and output arguments can point to the same 2D vector.

Note:
It is an error to try to normalize a vector whose length is zero. If this condition is detected RwV2dNormalize places a vector with components (0.0,0.0) in the output argument and returns 0.0.
Parameters:
out  A pointer to the 2D vector that will receive the normalized vector
in  A pointer to the 2D vector that is to be normalized and whose length is required
Returns:
Returns an RwReal value equal to the original length of the vector if successful or zero if there is an error

RwV2dLength
void RwV2dPerp (  RwV2d *    out,
const RwV2d *    in
) 
 

RwV2dPerp is used to calculate a 2D vector that is perpendicular to the given 2D vector.

Note:
The input and output arguments must not point to the same 2D vector.
Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
out  A pointer to a 2D vector that will receive the perpendicular vector
in  A pointer to the 2D vector whose perpendicular is required
Returns:
None
void RwV2dScale (  RwV2d *    out,
const RwV2d *    in,
RwReal    scalar
) 
 

RwV2dScale is used to multiply the specified 2D vector by the given scalar. The result is placed in a second 2D vector.

Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
out  A pointer to the 2D vector that will receive the result
in  A pointer to the 2D vector that will be scaled
scalar  An RwReal value equal to the scale factor
Returns:
None
See also:
RwV2dAdd , RwV2dSub
void RwV2dSub (  RwV2d *    out,
const RwV2d *    ina,
const RwV2d *    inb
) 
 

RwV2dSub is used to subtract the specified 2D vectors. The second vector is subtracted from the first. The result of the subtraction is placed in a third 2D vector.

Note:
This function is used for debug purposes only and, for efficiency, is available as a macro for final release versions of an application.
Parameters:
out  A pointer to the 2D vector that will receive the result of the subtraction
ina  A pointer to the first 2D vector
inb  A pointer to the second 2D vector
Returns:
None
