Member Function Documentation

Copy()

void Matrix.Copy	(	matrix	matrixDestination,
		matrix	matrixSource )

Copies the matrix to the destination.

Parameters

matrixDestination	Destination.
matrixSource	Source.

Create()

array Matrix.Create

(

)

Creates a 4x4 matrix and sets it to the identity.

"The model, view and projection matrices are three separate matrices. <br/>Model maps from an object's local coordinate space into world space, <br/>view from world space to view space, projection from camera to screen.<br/><br/>If you compose all three, you can use the one result to map all the way from <br/>object space to screen space, making you able to work out what you need to <br/>pass on to the next stage of a programmable pipeline from the incoming <br/>vertex positions." - Tommy (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5550620/the-purpose-of-model-view-projection-matrix)

Returns

Returns the matrix as an array.

Identity()

void Matrix.Identity

(

matrix

matrix

)

Sets the matrix to the identity.

Parameters

matrix

The matrix to set to the identity.

Multiply()

void Matrix.Multiply	(	matrix	matrix,
		matrix	a,
		matrix	b )

Multiplies two matrices.

Parameters

matrix	The matrix to output the values to.
a	The first matrix to use for multiplying.
b	The second matrix to use for multiplying.

Perspective()

void Matrix.Perspective	(	matrix	matrix,
		number	fov,
		number	near,
		number	far,
		number	aspect )

Creates a perspective projection matrix.

Parameters

matrix	The matrix to generate the projection matrix into.
fov	The field of view, in degrees.
near	The near clipping plane value.
far	The far clipping plane value.
aspect	The aspect ratio.

Rotate()

void Matrix.Rotate	(	matrix	matrix,
		number	x,
		number	y,
		number	z )

Sets the matrix to a rotation identity.

Parameters

matrix	The matrix to output the values to.
x	X rotation value.
y	Y rotation value.
z	Z rotation value.

Scale()

void Matrix.Scale	(	matrix	matrix,
		number	x,
		number	y,
		number	z )

Sets the matrix to a scale identity.

Parameters

matrix	The matrix to output the values to.
x	X scale value.
y	Y scale value.
z	Z scale value.

Translate()

void Matrix.Translate	(	matrix	matrix,
		number	x,
		number	y,
		number	z,
		boolean	resetToIdentity = false,
		boolean	actuallyTranslate = false )

Translates the matrix.

Parameters

matrix	The matrix to output the values to.
x	X position value.
y	Y position value.
z	Z position value.
resetToIdentity	Whether to calculate the translation values based on the matrix.
actuallyTranslate	Adds the translation components to the matrix instead of overwriting them (Preserves older code functionality, please fix me!).
