M_Vector3(3)

SYNOPSIS

#include <agar/core.h>
#include <agar/gui.h>
#include <agar/math/m.h>

DESCRIPTION

The M_Vector and M_Matrix(3) interfaces implement linear algebra operations on (real or complex valued) n dimensional vectors, and m by n matrices. Optimized interfaces are provided for fixed-dimensional types (which have entries directly accessible as x, y, z and w). Arbitrary-dimensional types may or may not use fixed arrays in memory. For example, the "sparse" backend uses a sparse matrix representation, and the "db" backend stores vector entries in a database.

Backends can be selected at run-time, or Agar-Math can be compiled to provide inline expansions of all operations of a specific backend. Vector extensions (such as SSE and AltiVec) are used by default, if a runtime cpuinfo check determines that they are available (the build remains compatible with non-vector platforms, at the cost of extra function calls). For best performance, Agar should be compiled with "--with-sse=inline", or "--with-altivec=inline".

VECTORS IN RN

The following routines operate on dynamically-allocated vectors in Rn. Unlike M_Matrix (which might use different memory representations), vector entries are always directly accessible through the v array. The M_Vector structure is defined as:
typedef struct m_vector {
	Uint m;			/* Size */
	M_Real *v;		/* Elements */
} M_Vector;

The following backends are currently available for M_Vector:
fpuNative scalar floating point methods.

VECTORS IN RN: INITIALIZATION


M_Vector * M_VecNew (Uint m)

void M_VecFree (M_Vector *v)

int M_VecResize (M_Vector *v, Uint m)

void M_VecSetZero (M_Vector *v)

M_Vector * M_ReadVector (AG_DataSource *ds)

void M_WriteVector (AG_DataSource *ds, const M_Vector *v)


The M_VecNew() function allocates a new vector in Rn. M_VecFree() releases all resources allocated for the specified vector.

M_VecResize() resizes the vector v to m. Existing entries are preserved, but new entries are left uninitialized. If insufficient memory is available, -1 is returned and an error message is set. On success, the function returns 0.

M_VecSetZero() initializes v to the zero vector.

M_ReadVector() reads a M_Vector from a data source and M_WriteVector() writes vector v to a data source; see AG_DataSource(3) for details.

VECTORS IN RN: ACCESSING ELEMENTS


M_Real * M_VecGetElement (const M_Vector *v, Uint i)

M_Real M_VecGet (const M_Vector *v, Uint i)

M_Vector * M_VecFromReals (Uint n, const M_Real *values)

M_Vector * M_VecFromFloats (Uint n, const float *values)

M_Vector * M_VecFromDoubles (Uint n, const double *values)


M_VecGetElement() returns a direct pointer to entry i in the (non-sparse) vector v. The M_VecGet() function returns the value of entry i in a vector v, which can be a sparse vector.

M_VecFromReals(), M_VecFromFloats(), and M_VecFromDoubles() generate an M_Vector from an array of M_Real, float or double.

The M_VecCopy() routine copies the contents of vector vSrc into vDst. Both vectors must have the same size.

The M_VecFlip() function returns the vector v scaled to -1.

M_VecScale() scales the vector v by factor c and returns the resulting vector. M_VecScalev() scales the vector in place.

M_VecAdd() returns the sum of a and b, which must be of equal size. The M_VecAddv() variant writes the result back into a.

M_VecSub() returns the difference (a - b). Both vectors must be of equal size. The M_VecSubv() variant writes the result back into a.

M_VecLen() returns the Euclidean length of a vector.

M_VecDot() returns the dot product of vectors a and b.

M_VecDistance() returns the Euclidean distance between a and b.

M_VecNorm() returns the normalized (unit-length) form of v.

M_VecLERP() returns the result of linear interpolation between equally-sized vectors a and b, with scaling factor t.

M_ElemPow() raises the entries of v to the power pow, and returns the resulting vector.
