IC Python API:RLPy RVector2
- Main article: Modules.
Description
2D vector2 math class for float values. This class provides access to RLPy's internal vector2 math library allowing vectors to be handled effortlessly, and in a manner compatible with internal RLPy data structures. It also supports operators and vector2 related functions. RVector2 also provides some constants for your convenience:
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
| RVector2.ZERO | 2D zero vector2: (0, 0) |
| RVector2.UNIT_X | 2D x unit vector2: (1, 0) |
| RVector2.UNIT_Y | 2D y unit vector2: (0, 1) |
| RVector2.UNIT_XY | 2D unit vector2: (1, 1) |
Constructors & Destructors
__init__

a = RLPy.RVector2()
__init__( self, x, y )
Initialize a new RVector2 object as a 2D vector2: (x, y).
a = RLPy.RVector2(1, 2)
Parameters
x [IN] a numerical value for x coordinate - float or int
y [IN] a numerical value for y coordinate - float or int
__init__( self, args )
Initialize a new RVector2 object with another RVector2 object: args. This new RVector2 object has the same value as args.
