VNorm

See also: VLength

Description

VNorm computes a normalized vector parallel to v with length 1. For scalar values this is equivalent to the sign operation, returning -1 for all values < 0, 0 for 0, and +1 for all values > 0.

Supported Rates: frame, shape, pixel

Class Methods

VNorm.fr(v)

VNorm.sr(v)

VNorm.pr(v)

Make a VNorm VGen at requested rate.

Arguments

v

The input vector.

Returns:

A vector parallel to v but with unit length.

dimensions

Examples

// This example draws the unit circle by using VStep to only draw white
// when the distance between the position and the normalized position is
// within 0.1.
