Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QVector4D class represents a vector or vertex in 4D space.

The PySide.QtGui.QVector4D class can also be used to represent vertices in 4D space. We therefore do not need to provide a separate vertex class.

Note

By design values in the PySide.QtGui.QVector4D instance are stored as float . This means that on platforms where the qreal arguments to PySide.QtGui.QVector4D functions are represented by double values, it is possible to lose precision.

PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.__reduce__()
Return type:PyObject
PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.__repr__()
Return type:PyObject
static PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.dotProduct(v1, v2)
Parameters:
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the dot product of v1 and v2 .

PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.isNull()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

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

PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.length()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the length of the vector from the origin.

PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.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.

PySide.QtGui.QVector4D.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.QVector4D.normalized()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QVector4D

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.
