Module pavpen.geometry_calculator.float_vector_field_operations

class pavpen.geometry_calculator.float_vector_field_operations.FloatVectorFieldOperations[Vector]

Bases: VectorFieldOperations[float, Vector], Generic

Base class for VectorFieldOperations whose coordinates are floats

Knowing the type of the coordinates allows us to provide default implementations for some properties, and methods.

property multiplicative_negator: float

The ‘-1’ scalar, i.e. x, such that for any vector (or scalar) v: v * x + v = 0

norm(value: Vector) → float

normalized(value: Vector) → Vector

projection_length_along(projected: Vector, direction: Vector) → float

The norm of the component of the projection of projected on direction

We recommend always calling this method with keyword arguments, since projected, and direction can easily be confused when unnamed.
