ManyVecs

A library providing Vector structs inspired by GLSL. These are useful for working with coordinates, geometry, game development, and more. Some features include:

• In-depth unit testing
• Support of component operators (addition, subtraction, etc.)
• Useful methods, like magnitude and normalization

This is not related to the standard library Vec type.

Try it out!

use manyvecs::legacy::Vec2;

// Vec2 stores two numbers, X and Y
let v = Vec2::<f32>::new(2.0, -0.5);

println!("{}, {}", v.x(), v.y());
// "2.0, -0.5"

// Operators work on vectors!
// They are applied componenet-wise.
println!("{}", v + 1.0);
// "Vec2(3.0, 0.5)"

// You can even create vecs from tuples
Vec2::from((2.0, 3.0));

These are just a few examples, you can find the complete documentation at docs.rs.

Features

Versions 0.1.0 and 0.2.0 use a generic-based struct for its vectors. Version 0.3.0 onwards is introducing a macro-based struct. This is a breaking change, which is why you can configure these changes with features.

Note: In 1.0.0, generic-based vectors will be removed entirely.

To enable macro-based vectors, include the following in your Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
manyvecs = { version = "~0.Y.Z", features = ["macroed"] }

To enable just the macro vector, include the following instead.

[dependencies]
manyvecs = { version = "~0.Y.Z", default-features = false, features = ["macroed"] }

Exporting Content

The macroed and legacy features are designed to work side-by-side. Each have their own public module. If just legacy is enabled and not macroed, the contents of the legacy module will be exported to the root of the crate. Take a look at the following code in lib.rs.

#[cfg(feature = "legacy")]
#[cfg(not(feature = "macroed"))]
pub use self::legacy::*;

The same applies for using just macroed and not legacy. This is important if you know you will not be using the other feature, as you can just use manyvecs::Vec2 instead of manyvecs::macroed::Vec2.

Stability Notice

This library is currently unstable. It is recommended that you only allow patches in your dependency on ManyVecs.

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
manyvecs = "~0.Y.Z"
