// This file defines a number of vector-based classes that are
21
// designed for specific uses. These all inherit from
22
// LVecBase[234][fd], which is the base of all linear algebra vectors.
23
//
24
// LPoint[234][fd]
25
//
26
// This should be used to represent a specific point in space. It
27
// inherits most properties from LVecBase.
28
//
29
// LVector[234][fd]
30
//
31
// This should be used to represent a vector, or a distance between
32
// two points in space.
33
//
34
// The distinction between LPoint and LVector is worth emphasizing.
35
// They differ in some subtle typing behavior (vector - vector =
36
// vector, point + vector = point, point - point = vector) and also in
37
// the way they are transformed when multiplied by a matrix (a point
38
// gets the translation component of the matrix, while the vector does
39
// not). Also, vector has length() and normalize() functions defined
40
// for it, while point does not.
41
//
42
// LPoint and LVector should be used whenever the concept of "point"
43
// or "vector" applies. If neither applies--for instance, if you are
44
// storing a plane equation or some such nonsense--use the base class,
45
// LVecBase.
46
//
47
// This file also typedefs the following:
48
//
49
// Vertex[fd]
50
// Normal[fd]
51
// TexCoord[fd]
52
// Color[fd]
53
// RGBColor[fd]
54
//
55
// These classes are typedefs of LPoint or LVector, as appropriate,
56
// and are intended to store a specific kind of rendering attribute.
57
// (Color is a four-component color; RGBColor is three-component.)
