Description
Creates a vector from arguments representing all axes.
Creates a vector describing a randomly chosen point on the
surface of a unit sphere. Differs from

random(10)/10.0
,
randomVector()
the
method always results in a unit vector.

Description
Get
The magnitude of the vector. Equivalent to the length of the
vector.
Get
The length of the vector. Equivalent to the magnitude of the
vector.
Get and set
Returns the value of a vector at a specified point in an index
between 1 and 3.
Get and set
The x component of a vector.
Get and set
The y component of a vector.
Get and set
The z component of a vector.
Description
Normalizes the vector by modifying it into a unit vector of length
1. This is done by dividing each component of the vector by the
vector's original length. That original length is the square root of
the sum of the squares of each component.
Returns a normalized version of the vector.
Returns the dot (inner) product of the first vector and the second
vector2
vector (
). If both vectors are of unit length, the result is
the cosine of the angle between the two vectors.
Returns the angle between
Returns a vector perpendicular to the original vector and to
