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.

To know more about dylan package manager visit Dylan tool.

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.

Library structure and dependencies#

The libraries used by the project are shown with the modules inside. The arrows between the libraries are the dependencies.
