Vector3 Class (Microsoft.DirectX)

Describes and manipulates a vector in three-dimensional (3-D) space.

Note: For programming in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft JScript .NET, use the methods of the Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3 structure.

Methods

Method	Description
Add	Adds two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
BaryCentric	Returns a point in barycentric coordinates, using specified 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
CatmullRom	Performs a Catmull-Rom interpolation using specified 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Cross	Determines the cross product of two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Dot	Determines the dot product of two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Hermite	Performs a Hermite spline interpolation using the specified 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Length	Returns the length of a 3-D vector. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
LengthSq	Returns the square of the length of a 3-D vector. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Lerp	Performs a linear interpolation between two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Maximize	Returns a 3-D vector that is made up of the largest components of two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Minimize	Returns a 3-D vector that is made up of the smallest components of two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Normalize	Returns the normalized version of a 3-D vector. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Scale	Scales a 3-D vector. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Subtract	Subtracts two 3-D vectors. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Transform	Transforms a 3-D vector or an array of 3-D vectors by a given matrix. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
TransformArray	Transforms an array of 3-D vectors by a given matrix. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
TransformCoordinate	Transforms a 3-D vector by a given matrix, projecting the result back into w = 1. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
TransformCoordinateArray	Transforms array (x, y, z, 1) by a given matrix, and projects the result back into w = 1. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
TransformNormal	Transforms a 3-D vector normal by the given matrix. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
TransformNormalArray	Transforms array (x, y, z, 0) by a given matrix. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
