Detailed Description

The QVector4D class represents a point or vector in 4D space. The QVector4D class can also be used to represent vertices in 4D space. We therefore do not need to provide a separate vertex class.

Note
By design values in the QVector4D instance are stored as float. This means that on platforms where the qreal arguments to QVector4D functions are represented by double values, it is possible to lose precision.

Method Documentation

qreal QVector4D::dotProduct ( const QVector4D &  v1,
const QVector4D &  v2 
)
static

Returns the dot product of v1 and v2.

bool QVector4D::isNull ( ) const

Returns true if the x, y, z, and w coordinates are set to 0.0, otherwise returns false.

qreal QVector4D::length ( ) const

Returns the length of the vector from the origin.

lengthSquared(), normalized()
qreal QVector4D::lengthSquared ( ) const

Returns the squared length of the vector from the origin. This is equivalent to the dot product of the vector with itself.

See also

void QVector4D::normalize ( )

Normalizes the current vector in place. Nothing happens if this vector is a null vector or the length of the vector is very close to 1.

See also
length(), normalized()
QVector4D QVector4D::normalized ( ) const

Returns the normalized unit vector form of this vector.

If this vector is null, then a null vector is returned. If the length of the vector is very close to 1, then the vector will be returned as-is. Otherwise the normalized form of the vector of length 1 will be returned.
