Vector2D Object
Derived from: Base ObjectDefined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Vector2D.h>
Description
Transient 2D vector. This object is a wrapper for 2D vector data and is used to pass vector data in and out of the API. They are created statically using the create method of the Vector2D class.Methods
| Name | Description |
| add | Add a vector to this vector. |
| angleTo | Gets the angle between this vector and another vector. |
| asArray | Returns the vector values as an array [x, y]. |
| asPoint | Return a point with the same x and y values as this vector. |
| classType | Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType(). |
| copy | Creates and returns an independent copy of this Vector2D object. |
| create | Creates a 2D vector object. |
| dotProduct | Calculates the Dot Product of this vector and an input vector. |
| isEqualTo | Compare this vector with another to check for equality. |
| isParallelTo | Compare this vector with another to check for parallelism. |
| isPerpendicularTo | Compare this vector with another to check for perpendicularity. |
| normalize | Normalizes the vector. Normalization makes the vector length equal to one. The vector should not be zero length. |
| scaleBy | Scales the vector by specifying a scaling factor. |
| setWithArray | Sets the definition of the vector by specifying an array containing the x and y coordinates. |
| subtract | Subtract a vector from this vector. |
| transformBy | Transforms the vector by specifying a 2D transformation matrix. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| length | Gets the length of the vector. |
| objectType | This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object. It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType(): |
| x | Gets and sets the X coordinate of the vector. |
| y | Gets and sets the Y coordinate of the vector. |
