GLM_FUNC_DECL T glm::distance ( vecType< T, P > const &  p0,
vecType< T, P > const &  p1 
)

Returns the distance betwwen p0 and p1, i.e., length(p0 - p1).

Template Parameters
genTypeFloating-point vector types.

GLM_FUNC_DECL T glm::dot ( vecType< T, P > const &  x,
vecType< T, P > const &  y 
)

Returns the dot product of x and y, i.e., result = x * y.

Template Parameters
genTypeFloating-point vector types.

GLM_FUNC_DECL vecType<T, P> glm::faceforward ( vecType< T, P > const &  N,
vecType< T, P > const &  I,
vecType< T, P > const &  Nref 
)

If dot(Nref, I) < 0.0, return N, otherwise, return -N.

Template Parameters
genTypeFloating-point vector types.

GLM_FUNC_DECL T glm::length ( vecType< T, P > const &  x)

Returns the length of x, i.e., sqrt(x * x).

Template Parameters
genTypeFloating-point vector types.

GLM_FUNC_DECL vecType<T, P> glm::normalize ( vecType< T, P > const &  x)

Returns a vector in the same direction as x but with length of 1.

According to issue 10 GLSL 1.10 specification, if length(x) == 0 then result is undefined and generate an error.

GLM_FUNC_DECL genType glm::reflect ( genType const &  I,
genType const &  N 
)

For the incident vector I and surface orientation N, returns the reflection direction : result = I - 2.0 * dot(N, I) * N.

Template Parameters
genTypeFloating-point vector types.

GLM_FUNC_DECL vecType<T, P> glm::refract ( vecType< T, P > const &  I,
vecType< T, P > const &  N,
eta 
)

For the incident vector I and surface normal N, and the ratio of indices of refraction eta, return the refraction vector.

Template Parameters
genTypeFloating-point vector types.
