<td><p>A class to describe a two or three dimensional vector. This datatype stores two or three variables that are commonly used as a position,
|
|
velocity, and/or acceleration. Technically, position is a point and velocity and acceleration are vectors, but this is often simplified to consider
|
|
all three as vectors. For example, if you consider a rectangle moving across the screen, at any given instant it has a position (the object's location,
|
|
expressed as a point.), a velocity (the rate at which the object's position changes per time unit, expressed as a vector), and acceleration (the rate at
|
|
which the object's velocity changes per time unit, expressed as a vector). Since vectors represent groupings of values, we cannot simply use traditional
|
|
addition/multiplication/etc. Instead, we'll need to do some "vector" math, which is made easy by the methods inside the PVector class. </p>
|
|
<p>There are additional methods and other ways to use some of these methods in the <a href="http://processing.googlecode.com/svn-history/r7367/trunk/processing/build/javadoc/core/processing/core/PVector.html">developers reference</a>.</p></td>
