Vector

The Vector represents a 2D vector (x, y). Our implementation is built on top of a Python list.

An example of constructing a Vector:

>>> # Construct a point at 82,34
>>> v = Vector(82, 34)
>>> v[0]
82
>>> v.x
82
>>> v[1]
34
>>> v.y
34

>>> # Construct by giving a list of 2 values
>>> pos = (93, 45)
>>> v = Vector(pos)
>>> v[0]
93
>>> v.x
93
>>> v[1]
45
>>> v.y
45

Optimized usage

Most of the time, you can use a list for arguments instead of using a Vector. For example, if you want to calculate the distance between 2 points:

a = (10, 10)
b = (87, 34)

# optimized method
print('distance between a and b:', Vector(a).distance(b))

# non-optimized method
va = Vector(a)
vb = Vector(b)
print('distance between a and b:', va.distance(vb))

Vector operators

The Vector supports some numeric operators such as +, -, /:

>>> Vector(1, 1) + Vector(9, 5)
[10, 6]

>>> Vector(9, 5) - Vector(5, 5)
[4, 0]

>>> Vector(10, 10) / Vector(2., 4.)
[5.0, 2.5]

>>> Vector(10, 10) / 5.
[2.0, 2.0]

You can also use in-place operators:

>>> v = Vector(1, 1)
>>> v += 2
>>> v
[3, 3]
>>> v *= 5
[15, 15]
>>> v /= 2.

static line_intersection(v1, v2, v3, v4)[ソース]

Finds the intersection point between the lines (1)v1->v2 and (2)v3->v4 and returns it as a vector object.

>>> a = (98, 28)
>>> b = (72, 33)
>>> c = (10, -5)
>>> d = (20, 88)
>>> Vector.line_intersection(a, b, c, d)

警告

This is a line intersection method, not a segment intersection.

For math see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-line_intersection

normalize()[ソース]

Returns a new vector that has the same direction as vec, but has a length of one.

>>> v = Vector(88, 33).normalize()

static segment_intersection(v1, v2, v3, v4)[ソース]

Finds the intersection point between segments (1)v1->v2 and (2)v3->v4 and returns it as a vector object.

12
>>> v.x
12
y

y represents the second element in the list.
