Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QVector3D class represents a vector or vertex in 3D space.

Vectors are one of the main building blocks of 3D representation and drawing. They consist of three coordinates, traditionally called x, y, and z.

The PySide.QtGui.QVector3D class can also be used to represent vertices in 3D space. We therefore do not need to provide a separate vertex class.

Note

By design values in the PySide.QtGui.QVector3D instance are stored as float . This means that on platforms where the qreal arguments to PySide.QtGui.QVector3D functions are represented by double values, it is possible to lose precision.

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.__reduce__()
Return type:PyObject
PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.__repr__()
Return type:PyObject
static PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.crossProduct(v1, v2)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D

Returns the cross-product of vectors v1 and v2 , which corresponds to the normal vector of a plane defined by v1 and v2 .

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.distanceToLine(point, direction)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the distance that this vertex is from a line defined by point and the unit vector direction .

If direction is a null vector, then it does not define a line. In that case, the distance from point to this vertex is returned.

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.distanceToPlane(plane1, plane2, plane3)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.qreal

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the distance from this vertex a plane defined by the vertices plane1 , plane2 and plane3 .

The return value will be negative if the vertex is below the plane, or zero if it is on the plane.

The two vectors that define the plane are plane2 - plane1 and plane3 - plane1 .

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.distanceToPlane(plane, normal)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the distance from this vertex to a plane defined by the vertex plane and a normal unit vector. The normal parameter is assumed to have been normalized to a unit vector.

The return value will be negative if the vertex is below the plane, or zero if it is on the plane.

static PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.dotProduct(v1, v2)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the dot product of v1 and v2 .

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.isNull()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if the x, y, and z coordinates are set to 0.0, otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.length()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the length of the vector from the origin.

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.lengthSquared()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the squared length of the vector from the origin. This is equivalent to the dot product of the vector with itself.

static PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.normal(v1, v2, v3)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the normal vector of a plane defined by vectors v2 - v1 and v3 - v1 , normalized to be a unit vector.

Use PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.crossProduct() to compute the cross-product of v2 - v1 and v3 - v1 if you do not need the result to be normalized to a unit vector.

static PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.normal(v1, v2)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D

Returns the normal vector of a plane defined by vectors v1 and v2 , normalized to be a unit vector.

Use PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.crossProduct() to compute the cross-product of v1 and v2 if you do not need the result to be normalized to a unit vector.

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.normalize()

Normalizes the currect vector in place. Nothing happens if this vector is a null vector or the length of the vector is very close to 1.

PySide.QtGui.QVector3D.normalized()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QVector3D

Returns the normalized unit vector form of this vector.

If this vector is null, then a null vector is returned. If the length of the vector is very close to 1, then the vector will be returned as-is. Otherwise the normalized form of the vector of length 1 will be returned.
