Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ Axis

enum Axis

This enum can be used to specify axis under a variety of scenarios.

For example, passing kXAxis to GetRow returns the vector that represents the X axis of the transform, and accessing a point3 the enum returns the X, Y, or Z component of the translation.

Enumerator
kXAxis 
kYAxis 

Specifies the X Axis.

kZAxis 

Specifies the Y Axis.

52 {
53  kXAxis,
54  kYAxis,
55  kZAxis,
56 };
@ kYAxis
Specifies the X Axis.
Definition: matrix3.h:54
@ kXAxis
Definition: matrix3.h:53
@ kZAxis
Specifies the Y Axis.
Definition: matrix3.h:55

◆ TransComponent

The TransComponent enum simply specifies the translation row index of a Matrix3.

The enum is used (along with Axis enum) to construct the MatrixComponent pseudo-enum via InheritEnum. This pseudo-enum can be used in places where programmers need to access the components of the matrix directly (for example, in the functions GetRow or directly in the Matrix3 internals via GetAddr).

Enumerator
kTrans 
67 {
68  kTrans = kZAxis + 1
69 };
@ kTrans

Parameters
angleSpecifies the angle of rotation in radians.
Returns
A new Y rotation Matrix3.

◆ RotateZMatrix()

Matrix3 RotateZMatrix ( float  angle)
Remarks

◆ TransMatrix()

Parameters
pSpecifies the translation values.
Returns
A new translation Matrix3.

◆ ScaleMatrix()

Matrix3 ScaleMatrix ( const Point3 s)
Remarks
Builds a new matrix for use as a scale transformation.
Parameters
sSpecifies the scale values.
Returns
A new scale Matrix3.

◆ RotateYPRMatrix()

Matrix3 RotateYPRMatrix ( float  Yaw,
float  Pitch,
float  Roll 
)
Remarks
Builds a new matrix for use as a rotation transformation by specifying yaw, pitch and roll angles.

This definition will depend on what our coordinate system is. This one is equivalent to:

M.IdentityMatrix();

M.RotateZ(roll);

M.RotateX(pitch);

M.RotateY(yaw);

Which presupposes Y is vertical, X is sideways, Z is forward
Parameters
YawSpecifies the yaw angle in radians.
PitchSpecifies the pitch angle in radians.
RollSpecifies the roll angle in radians.
Returns
A new rotation Matrix3.

◆ RotAngleAxisMatrix()

Matrix3 RotAngleAxisMatrix ( const Point3 axis,
float  angle 
)
Remarks
Builds a new matrix for use as a rotation transformation by specifying an angle and axis.
Parameters
axisSpecifies the axis of rotation. Note that this angle is expected to be normalized.
angleSpecifies the angle of rotation. Note: The direction of the angle in this method is opposite of that in AngAxisFromQ().
Returns
A new rotation Matrix3.

◆ Inverse() [1/2]

Matrix3 Inverse ( const Matrix3 M)
Remarks
Return the inverse of the matrix
Parameters
MThe matrix to compute the inverse of.

◆ InverseHighPrecision()

Matrix3 InverseHighPrecision ( const Matrix3 M)
Remarks
Return the inverse of the matrix using doubles for the intermediary results
Parameters
MThe matrix to compute the inverse of.

◆ PseudoInverse()

Matrix3 PseudoInverse ( const Matrix3 m)
Remarks
Return the pseudoinverse of an affine symmetric matrix, meaning that if the matrix is degenerate (projects into a plane, line or point; eg. has both row 1 and column 1 zero) this will still produce a matrix that inverts the nonzero parts of the transform.
Parameters
mThe matrix to compute the pseudoinverse of.

◆ AffineTranspose() [1/2]

Matrix3 AffineTranspose ( const Matrix3 M)
Remarks
Transposes the affine portion of the matrix. Since Matrix3 does not have a 4th column you cannot transpose the entire 4x4 matrix, so this method only transposes the 3x3 matrix representing rotations, scale and skew.
Parameters
MThe matrix to compute the affine transpose of.

◆ operator*() [1/2]

Point3 operator* ( const Matrix3 A,
const Point3 V 
)
Remarks
These transform a Point3 with a Matrix3. These two versions of transforming a point with a matrix do the same thing, regardless of the order of operands (linear algebra rules notwithstanding).
Parameters
AThe matrix to transform the point with.
VThe point to transform.
Returns
The transformed Point3.

◆ operator*() [2/2]

Point3 operator* ( const Point3 V,
const Matrix3 A 
)
Remarks
These transform a Point3 with a Matrix3. These two versions of transforming a point with a matrix do the same thing, regardless of the order of operands (linear algebra rules notwithstanding).
Parameters
VThe point to transform.
AThe matrix to transform the point with.
Returns
The transformed Point3.

◆ VectorTransform() [1/2]

Point3 VectorTransform ( const Matrix3 M,
const Point3 V 
)
Remarks
Transform the vector (Point3) with the specified matrix.
Parameters
MThe matrix to transform the vector with.
VThe vector to transform.
Returns
The transformed vector (as a Point3).

◆ VectorTransform() [2/2]

Point3 VectorTransform ( const Point3 V,
const Matrix3 M 
)

◆ TransformPlane()

Point4 TransformPlane ( const Matrix3 M,
const Point4 plane 
)

transform a plane.

Note
this only works if M is orthogonal
Parameters
MThe transformation to apply to the plain
planethe plane to be transformed

◆ XFormMat()

Matrix3 XFormMat ( const Matrix3 xm,
const Matrix3 m 
)
Remarks
This method is used to build a matrix that constructs a transformation in a particular space. For example, say you have a rotation you want to apply, but you want to perform the rotation in another coordinate system. To do this, you typically transform into the space of the coordinate system, then apply the transformation, and then transform out of that coordinate system. This method constructs a matrix that does just this. It transforms matrix m so it is applied in the space of matrix xm. It returns a Matrix3 that is xm*m*Inverse(xm).
Parameters
xmSpecifies the coordinate system you want to work in.
mSpecifies the transformation matrix.
Returns
Returns a Matrix3 that is xm*m*Inverse(xm).

◆ MirrorMatrix()

void MirrorMatrix ( Matrix3 tm,
Axis  axis,
bool  scaleMatrix = false 
)
Remarks
Mirrors the input matrix against the X, Y, or Z axis. This function mirrors the input matrix such that if it transformed a Point3 p, the transform applied by the mirrored transform would place p in an equivalent position relative but with one of it's elements negated.
Point3 p = ...; // Some arbitrary point;
Matrix3 tm = ...; // Some matrix
Matrix3 tmMirror = tm;
MirrorMatrix(tm, kXAxis); // Mirror this matrix around the X Axis;
Point3 p3Result = tm.PointTransform(p); // Apply the original transformation
Point3 p3Mirrored = tmMirror.PointTransform(p); // Apply the mirrored transformation
p3Result[kXAxis] == -p3Mirrored[kXAxis]; // The point is mirrored around X
p3Result[kYAxis] == p3Mirrored[kYAxis]; // The point is unchanged around Y
p3Result[kZAxis] == p3Mirrored[kZAxis]; // The point is unchanged around Z
Definition: matrix3.h:98
Point3 PointTransform(const Point3 &p) const
Definition: point3.h:56
void MirrorMatrix(DMatrix3 &tm, Axis axis, bool scaleMatrix=false)
Mirrors the input matrix against the X, Y, or Z axis.
Parameters
[in,out]tmThe Matrix to mirror
axisThe world plane to mirror around. The axis will be reflected against the plane formed by the point (0, 0, 0) and the normal where normal[axis] = 1;
scaleMatrixThe matrix can be mirrored either by pure rotation, or by pure scaling. If true, the matrix is mirrored by flipping one of its axis, changing the handedness of the matrix. This had the advantage that the mirroring will be passed onto all it's children. This is preferential when the system can handle it, but can cause issues in systems that do not compensate for scale, eg game pipelines and skinning. if false, the mirroring will be achieved using rotation only and will not affect child local positions. It is better to use non-scaling mirroring when dealing with tools or processes that do not well support scale, or when the matrix will be blended with non-scaled matrices. (eg, Point/Quat based pipelines and skinning)
