## Detailed Description

Remarks:
  A direction in 2D space represented as distances along the 2 orthoganal axes (x, y). Note that positions, directions and scaling factors can be represented by a vector, depending on how you interpret the values.

Real Ogre::Vector2::length | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the length (magnitude) of the vector.

Warning:
  This operation requires a square root and is expensive in terms of CPU operations. If you don't need to know the exact length (e.g. for just comparing lengths) use squaredLength() instead.

Definition at line 318 of file OgreVector2.h.

References Ogre::Math::Sqrt().

Real Ogre::Vector2::squaredLength | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the square of the length(magnitude) of the vector.

Remarks:
  This method is for efficiency - calculating the actual length of a vector requires a square root, which is expensive in terms of the operations required. This method returns the square of the length of the vector, i.e. the same as the length but before the square root is taken. Use this if you want to find the longest / shortest vector without incurring the square root.

Definition at line 333 of file OgreVector2.h.

Real Ogre::Vector2::dotProduct | ( | const Vector2 & | vec | ) | const

Calculates the dot (scalar) product of this vector with another.

Remarks:
  The dot product can be used to calculate the angle between 2 vectors. If both are unit vectors, the dot product is the cosine of the angle; otherwise the dot product must be divided by the product of the lengths of both vectors to get the cosine of the angle. This result can further be used to calculate the distance of a point from a plane.

Parameters:

  | vec | Vector with which to calculate the dot product (together with this one).

Returns:
  A float representing the dot product value.

Definition at line 352 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

Real Ogre::Vector2::normalise | ( |  | ) |

Normalises the vector.

Remarks:
  This method normalises the vector such that it's length / magnitude is 1. The result is called a unit vector.

Note:
  This function will not crash for zero-sized vectors, but there will be no changes made to their components.

Returns:
  The previous length of the vector.

Definition at line 366 of file OgreVector2.h.

References Ogre::Math::Sqrt().

Vector2 Ogre::Vector2::midPoint | ( | const Vector2 & | vec | ) | const

Returns a vector at a point half way between this and the passed in vector.

Definition at line 386 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

bool Ogre::Vector2::operator< | ( | const Vector2 & | rhs | ) | const

Returns true if the vector's scalar components are all greater that the ones of the vector it is compared against.

Definition at line 396 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

bool Ogre::Vector2::operator> | ( | const Vector2 & | rhs | ) | const

Returns true if the vector's scalar components are all smaller that the ones of the vector it is compared against.

Definition at line 406 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

void Ogre::Vector2::makeFloor | ( | const Vector2 & | cmp | ) |

Sets this vector's components to the minimum of its own and the ones of the passed in vector.

Remarks:
  'Minimum' in this case means the combination of the lowest value of x, y and z from both vectors. Lowest is taken just numerically, not magnitude, so -1 < 0.

Definition at line 420 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

void Ogre::Vector2::makeCeil | ( | const Vector2 & | cmp | ) |

Sets this vector's components to the maximum of its own and the ones of the passed in vector.

Remarks:
  'Maximum' in this case means the combination of the highest value of x, y and z from both vectors. Highest is taken just numerically, not magnitude, so 1 > -3.

Definition at line 433 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

Vector2 Ogre::Vector2::perpendicular | ( | void |  | ) | const

Generates a vector perpendicular to this vector (eg an 'up' vector).

Remarks:
  This method will return a vector which is perpendicular to this vector. There are an infinite number of possibilities but this method will guarantee to generate one of them. If you need more control you should use the Quaternion class.

Definition at line 446 of file OgreVector2.h.

Real Ogre::Vector2::crossProduct | ( | const Vector2 & | rkVector | ) | const

Calculates the 2 dimensional cross-product of 2 vectors, which results in a single floating point value which is 2 times the area of the triangle.

Definition at line 453 of file OgreVector2.h.

References x, and y.

Vector2 Ogre::Vector2::randomDeviant | ( | Real | angle | ) | const

Generates a new random vector which deviates from this vector by a given angle in a random direction.

Remarks:
  This method assumes that the random number generator has already been seeded appropriately.

Parameters:

  | angle | The angle at which to deviate in radians
  | up | Any vector perpendicular to this one (which could generated by cross-product of this vector and any other non-colinear vector). If you choose not to provide this the function will derive one on it's own, however if you provide one yourself the function will be faster (this allows you to reuse up vectors if you call this method more than once)

Returns:
  A random vector which deviates from this vector by angle. This vector will not be normalised, normalise it if you wish afterwards.

Definition at line 476 of file OgreVector2.h.

References Ogre::Math::TWO_PI, and Ogre::Math::UnitRandom().

bool Ogre::Vector2::isZeroLength | ( | void |  | ) | const

Returns true if this vector is zero length.

Definition at line 488 of file OgreVector2.h.

Vector2 Ogre::Vector2::normalisedCopy | ( | void |  | ) | const

As normalise, except that this vector is unaffected and the normalised vector is returned as a copy.

Definition at line 497 of file OgreVector2.h.

References normalise().

Vector2 Ogre::Vector2::reflect | ( | const Vector2 & | normal | ) | const

Calculates a reflection vector to the plane with the given normal .

Remarks:
  NB assumes 'this' is pointing AWAY FROM the plane, invert if it is not.
