'>' => Numerical lt. Compares the length of this vector with a vector or a scalar value.
'>=' => Numerical ge. Compares the length of this vector with a vector or a scalar value.
'<=>' => Numerical cmp. Compares the length of this vector with a vector or a scalar value.
'==' => Numerical eq. Performs a componentwise equation.
'!=' => Numerical ne. Performs a componentwise equation.

'bool' => Returns true if the length of this vector is not 0
'0+' => Numeric conversion operator. Returns the length of this vector.
'abs' => Performs a componentwise abs.
'neg' => Performs a componentwise negation.
'++' => Increment components
'--' => Decrement components
'+=' => Add a vector
'-=' => Subtract a vector
'*=' => Multiply with a vector or a scalar value.
'/=' => Divide with a vector or a scalar value.
'**=' => Power
'%=' => Modulo fmod
'+' => Add two vectors
'-' => Subtract vectors
'*' => Multiply this vector with a vector or a scalar value.
'/' => Divide this vector with a vector or a scalar value.
'**' => Returns a power of this vector.
'%' => Modulo fmod
'.' => Returns the dot product of two vectors.
'""' => Returns a string representation of the vector.METHODS
getDefaultValue
Get the default value as array ref
$default = $v1->getDefaultValue;
@default = @{ Math::Vec3->getDefaultValue };
$n = @{ Math::Vec3->getDefaultValue };setX(x)
Sets the first value of the vector
$v1->setX(1);
$v1->[0] = 1;setY(y)
Sets the second value of the vector
$v1->setY(2);
$v1->[1] = 2;setZ(z)
Sets the third value of the vector
$v1->setZ(2);
$v1->[2] = 2;getX
Returns the first value of the vector.
$x = $v1->getX;
$x = $v1->[0];getY
Returns the second value of the vector.
$y = $v1->getY;
$y = $v1->[1];getZ
Returns the third value of the vector.
$y = $v1->getZ;
$y = $v1->[2];negate
This is used to overload the 'neg' operator.
$v = $v1->negate;
$v = -$v1;add(Vec3)
This is used to overload the '+' operator.
$v = $v1->add($v2);
$v = $v1 + $v2;
$v = [8, 2, 4] + $v1;
$v1 += $v2;subtract(Vec3)
This is used to overload the '-' operator.
$v = $v1->subtract($v2);
$v = $v1 - $v2;
$v = [8, 2, 4] - $v1;
$v1 -= $v2;multiply(Vec3 or scalar)
This is used to overload the '*' operator.
$v = $v1 * 2;
$v = $v1 * [3, 5, 4];
$v = [8, 2, 4] * $v1;
$v = $v1 * $v1;
$v1 *= 2;
$v = $v1->multiply(2);divide(Vec3 or scalar)
This is used to overload the '/' operator.
$v = $v1 / 2;
$v1 /= 2;
$v = $v1 / [3, 7, 4];
$v = [8, 2, 4] / $v1;
$v = $v1 / $v1; # unit vector
$v = $v1->divide(2);dot(Vec3)
This is used to overload the '.' operator.
$s = $v1->dot($v2);
$s = $v1 . $v2;
$s = $v1 . [ 2, 3, 4 ];cross(vec3)
This is used to overload the 'x' operator.
$v = $v1->cross($v2);
$v = $v1 x $v2;
$v = $v1 x [ 2, 3, 4 ];length
Returns the length of the vector This is used to overload the '0+' operator.
$l = $v1->length;normalize
$v = $v1->normalize;SEE ALSO
