vector()

Synopsis

Creates a vector relative to the local Frame. Note that even though the vector is created using local coordinates, it is stored using universal world coordinates, and so does not need to be transformed for use in other contexts.

Syntax

vector ( dx As Number, _
         dy As Number, _
         dz As Number ) As Vector

Argument	Type	Description
dx	Number	Local x component of the vector .
dy	Number	Local y component of the vector .
dz	Number	Local z component of the vector .

Example 1

Constructs the vector

Intent >vector(1, 0, 0) 
--> Vector_(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, WorldFrame())

Example 2

Constructs the vector

Intent >vector(0.0001, 12345.2, 1.0e10) 
--> Vector_(0.0001, 12345.2, 10000000000.0, WorldFrame())
