Vec2

Interface representing a 2D vector. A 2D vector is represented by (x, y) coordinates, and can represent a point in a plane, a directional vector, or other types of data with three ordered dimensions. Vec2 objects are created with the ecs.math.vec2 Vec2Factory, or through operations on other Vec2 objects.

Code Example​

const {vec2} = ecs.math  
const a = vec2.xy(1, 2)
const b = vec2.scale(3)  // b is 3, 3
const c = a.plus(b).times(vec2.xy(5, 4)).normalize()  // c is (1, 1)

Source​

The Vec2Source interface represents any object that has x and y properties and hence can be used as a data source to create a Vec2. In addition, Vec2Source can be used as an argument to Vec2 algorithms, meaning that any object with {x: number, y: number} properties can be used.

Vec2Source has the following enumerable properties:

readonly x: number Access the x component of the vector.

readonly y: number Access the y component of the vector.

Factory​

Vec2 objects are created with the ecs.math.vec2 Vec2Factory, with the following methods:

vec2.from()​

vec2.from({x, y}: {x: number, y: number}) => Vec2

Create a Vec2 from a Vec2, or other object with x, y properties.

vec2.one()​

vec2.one: () => Vec2

Create a Vec2 with all elements set to one. This is equivalent to vec2.from({x: 1, y: 1}).

vec2.scale()​

vec2.scale: (s: number) => Vec2

Create a Vec2 with all elements set to the scale value s. This is equivalent to vec2.from({x: s, y: s}).

vec2.xy()​

vec2.xy: (x: number, y: number) => Vec2

Create a Vec2 from x, y values. This is equivalent to vec2.from({x, y}).

vec2.zero()​

vec2.zero: () => Vec2

Create a Vec2 with all components set to zero. This is equivalent to vec2.from({x: 0, y: 0}).

Properties​

Vec2 has the following enumerable properties:

readonly x: number Access the x component of the vector.

readonly y: number Access the y component of the vector.

Immutable API​

The following methods perform computations based on the current value of a Vec2, but do not modify its contents. Methods that return Vec2 types return new objects. Immutable APIs are typically safer, more readable, and less error-prone than mutable APIs, but may be inefficient in situations where thousands of objects are allocated each frame. In cases where object garbage collection is a performance concern, prefer the Mutable API (below).

.clone()​

clone: () => Vec2

Create a new vector with the same components as this vector.

.cross()​

cross: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Compute the cross product of this vector and another vector. For 2D vectors, the cross product is the magnitude of the z component of the 3D cross product of the two vectors with 0 as the z component.

.distanceTo()​

distanceTo: (v: Vec2Source) => number

Compute the euclidean distance between this vector and another vector.

.divide()​

divide: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Element-wise vector division.

.dot()​

dot: (v: Vec2Source) => number

Compute the dot product of this vector and another vector.

.equals()​

equals: (v: Vec2Source, tolerance: number) => boolean

Check whether two vectors are equal, with a specified floating point tolerance.

.length()​

length: () => number

Length of the vector.

.minus()​

minus: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Subtract a vector from this vector.

.mix()​

mix: (v: Vec2Source, t: number) => Vec2

Compute a linear interpolation between this vector and another vector v with a factor t such that the result is thisVec * (1 - t) + v * t. The factor t should be between 0 and 1.

.normalize()​

normalize: () => Vec2

Return a new vector with the same direction as this vector, but with a length of 1.

.plus()​

plus: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Add two vectors together.

.scale()​

scale: (s: number) => Vec2

Multiply the vector by a scalar.

.times()​

times: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Element-wise vector multiplication.

Mutable API​

The following methods perform computations based on the current value of a Vec2, and modify its contents in place. They are parallel to methods in the mutable API above. Methods that return Vec2 types return a reference to the current object for convenient method chaining. Mutable APIs can be more performant than Immutable APIs, but are typically less safe, less readable, and more error-prone. In cases where a section of code will likely not be called many times on a given frame, consider using the Immutable API (above).

This next example is equivalent to the Immutable API example above, but allocates two Vec2 objects instead of six:

const {vec2} = ecs.math  
const a = vec2.xy(1, 2)
const b = vec2.scale(3)  // b is 3, 3
a.setPlus(b).setTimes(b.setXy(5, 4)).setNormalize()  // a is (1, 1, 1) and b is (5, 4)

.setDivide()​

setDivide: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Element-wise vector division. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setMinus()​

setMinus: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Subtract a vector from this vector. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setMix()​

setMix: (v: Vec2Source, t: number) => Vec2

Compute a linear interpolation between this vector and another vector v with a factor t such that the result is thisVec * (1 - t) + v * t. The factor t should be between 0 and 1. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setNormalize()​

setNormalize: () => Vec2

Set the vector to be a version of itself with the same direction, but with length 1. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setPlus()​

setPlus: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Add two vectors together. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setScale()​

setScale: (s: number) => Vec2

Multiply the vector by a scalar. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setTimes()​

setTimes: (v: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Element-wise vector multiplication. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setX()​

setX: (v: number) => Vec2

Set the Vec2's x component. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setY()​

setY: (v: number) => Vec2

Set the Vec2's y component. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

Set API​

The following methods set the value of the current Vec2 object without regard to its current content, replacing whatever was there before.

.makeOne()​

makeOne: () => Vec2

Set the Vec2 to be all ones. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.makeScale()​

makeScale: (s: number) => Vec2

Set the Vec2 to have all components set to the scale value s. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.

.setFrom()​

setFrom: (source: Vec2Source) => Vec2

Set the Vec2's x and y components. Store the result in this Vec2 and return this Vec2 for chaining.
