Geometry
Given an array containing the values {10, 20, 30}, the Vector3 object created will have a
value of 10 for X, 20 for Y, and 30 for Z.
Vector3 vt3 = (Vector3)dblArray;
//vt3 = (10, 20, 30)
Vector2 and Vector3 classes provide the following public methods:
Cross - This method computes the cross product of two vectors.
Vector3 vt1 = new Vector3(10, 20, 30);
Vector3 vt2 = new Vector3(20, 30, 40);
Vector3 vt3 = Vector3.Cross(vt1, vt2);
//vt3 = (-100,200,-100)
The cross product is computed as X = (20 * 40) – (30 * 30) = -100, Y = (30 * 20) – (10 *
40) = 200, and Z = (10 * 30) – (20 * 20) = -100.
Dot - This method computes the dot product of two vectors. A higher precision value is
returned to preserve significant digits in the calculation.
// (X1, Y1, Z1)
Vector3 vt1 = new Vector3(10, 20, 30);
// (X2, Y2, Z2)
Vector3 vt2 = new Vector3(20, 30, 40);
double dblVal = Vector3.Dot(vt1, vt2);
//dblval = = 2000
Equals - This method compares this instance with another object reference for equality.
Returns true if this instance is the same as the other object reference.
GetHashCode - This method gets the hash code for this instance.
GetNormalized - This method gets the normalized vector computed from the input
vector. If the norm of the input vector is 0, then the null vector will be returned.
Vector3 vt1 = new Vector3(10, 20, 30);
Vector3 vt3 = Vector3.GetNormalized(vt1);
//vt3 = (0.267, 0.534, 0.801)
