  WGSL-formatted string for unsigned integer values with 'u' suffix

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

x

• get x(): number

  Gets the x-component (first component) of the vector.

  Returns number

  The x-component value

at

• at(i: number): number

  Gets the component value at the specified index.

  Parameters

  • i: number

    The index of the component to retrieve

  Returns number

  The component value at the given index

dot

• dot(_vec: IVector): number

  Calculates the dot product between this vector and another vector.

  Parameters

  • _vec: IVector

  Returns number

  The dot product result

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

flattenAsArray

• flattenAsArray(): number[]

  Converts the vector to a flat array of numbers.

  Returns number[]

  Array containing all vector components

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

isDummy

• isDummy(): boolean

  Checks if this vector is a dummy (empty) vector. A dummy vector has no components and is typically used as a placeholder.

  Returns boolean

  True if the vector is dummy, false otherwise

isEqual

• isEqual(_vec: IVector, _delta?: number): boolean

  Checks if this vector is approximately equal to another vector within a specified tolerance.

  Parameters

  • _vec: IVector
  • Optional_delta: number

  Returns boolean

  True if vectors are approximately equal, false otherwise

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

isStrictEqual

• isStrictEqual(_vec: IVector): boolean

  Checks if this vector is strictly equal to another vector (exact equality).

  Parameters

  • _vec: IVector

  Returns boolean

  True if vectors are exactly equal, false otherwise

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

isTheSourceSame

• isTheSourceSame(arrayBuffer: ArrayBuffer): boolean

  Checks if the internal storage shares the same ArrayBuffer as the provided one. Useful for determining if vectors share underlying memory.

  Parameters

  • arrayBuffer: ArrayBuffer

    The ArrayBuffer to compare against

  Returns boolean

  True if the same ArrayBuffer is used, false otherwise

length

• length(): number

  Calculates the length (magnitude) of the vector.

  Returns number

  The length of the vector

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

lengthSquared

• lengthSquared(): number

  Calculates the squared length of the vector. This is more efficient than length() when only relative comparisons are needed.

  Returns number

  The squared length of the vector

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

lengthTo

• lengthTo(_vec: IVector): number

  Calculates the distance from this vector to another vector.

  Parameters

  • _vec: IVector

  Returns number

  The distance between the vectors

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

toString

• toString(): string

  Converts the vector to its string representation.

  Returns string

  String representation of the vector

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

toStringApproximately

• toStringApproximately(): string

  Converts the vector to an approximate string representation. Useful for debugging when exact precision is not required.

  Returns string

  Approximate string representation of the vector

  Throws

  Error - Must be implemented by subclasses

v

• v(i: number): number

  Gets the component value at the specified index. Alias for the at() method for convenience.

  Parameters

  • i: number

    The index of the component to retrieve

  Returns number

  The component value at the given index
