Constructor Detail

Matrix

public Matrix()

Creates a new matrix and sets it to the identity matrix.

Matrix

public Matrix(Matrix m)

Creates a matrix from a given one. The new matrix will bi initialized with the same values that the source matrix has.

Parameters:

m - the source matrix

Method Detail

isIdentity

public final boolean isIdentity()

Returns true, if this matrix is the identity matrix.

Returns:

boolean true is it is, otherwise false

setIdentity

public final void setIdentity()

(Re-)sets this matrix to the identity matrix.

scalarMul

public final void scalarMul(float scalar)

Multiplies this matrix with a scalar (the left upper 3x3 part only).

Parameters:

scalar - the scalar to multiply with

matMul

public final void matMul(Matrix maty)

Multiplies this matrix with another one.

Parameters:

maty - the matrix to multiply with

rotateX

public final void rotateX(float w)

Rotates the matrix around the X-axis (counter clockwise for positive w).

Parameters:

w - the rotation angle in radians

rotateY

public final void rotateY(float w)

Parameters:

w - the rotation angle in radians

rotateZ

public final void rotateZ(float w)

Rotates the matrix around the Z-axis (counter clockwise for positive w).

Parameters:

rotateAxis

public final void rotateAxis(SimpleVector axis,
                             float angle)

Rotates the matrix around an arbitrary axis. The method is more powerful than the normal rotate-around-an-axis methods, but also a bit slower. The resulting matrix will be orthonormalized to ensure numerical accuracy.

Parameters:

axis - a direction-vector pointing into the axis direction

angle - the angle of the rotation in radians

interpolate

public final void interpolate(Matrix source,
                              Matrix dest,
                              float weight)

Fills the matrix with data interpolated between the source and the destination matrix. The interpolation is (source*(1-weight)+dest*weigth), so it's a simple linear interpolation. The interpolated matrix is orthonormal. However, it's possible that the interpolation will result in a NaN-Matrix, if the matrices to interpolate are too different from each other. Keep that in mind...

Parameters:

source - the source matrix

dest - the destination matrix

weight - the weight of the destination matrix (0-1)

public final void translate(SimpleVector trans)

Applies a translation to this matrix.

Parameters:

trans - the translation

translate

                            float y,
                            float z)

Applies a translation to this matrix. This implementation should help to avoid the unnecessary creation of a SimpleVector if the coordinates already exist as three seperated ones.

Parameters:

x - the x component of the translation

y - the y component of the translation

z - the z component of the translation

cloneMatrix

public final Matrix cloneMatrix()

Creates a copy of this matrix.

Returns:

the copied matrix

invert

public final Matrix invert()

Calculates the inverse of this matrix.

Returns:

the inverse

invert

public final Matrix invert(Matrix dst)

Calculates the inverse of this matrix and fills the result into the given matrix (which will be returned in addition).

Parameters:

dst - the matrix to fill with the result.

Returns:

the inverse

invert3x3

public final Matrix invert3x3()

Calculates the inverse of this matrix as if this matrix would be a 3x3 one (instead of the 4x4 it actually is). This can be useful to invert matrices that are rotation matrices only, because they usually can be treated as 3x3 and it's much faster to do it this way than to use the normal invert()-method. In case of doubt, one may be better off using the normal invert()-method though.

Returns:

the inverse

See Also:

invert()

invert3x3

public final Matrix invert3x3(Matrix toFill)

Calculates the inverse of this matrix as if this matrix would be a 3x3 one (instead of the 4x4 it actually is). This can be useful to invert matrices that are rotation matrices only, because they usually can be treated as 3x3 and it's much faster to do it this way than to use the normal invert()-method. In case of doubt, one may be better off using the normal invert()-method though. Fills the result into the given matrix (which will be returned in addition).

Parameters:

toFill - the matrix to fill. Can't be the same instance as the matrix to invert.

Returns:

the inverse

See Also:

invert()

transpose

public final Matrix transpose()

Calculates the transposed matrix of this matrix.

Returns:

the transposed matrix

orthonormalizeDouble

public final void orthonormalizeDouble()

Orthonormalizes a matrix using the Gramm-Schmidt orthonormalization algorithm. This can be useful for rotation matrices to ensure that they stay orthonormal over time (i.e. after a lot of rotations have been applied to them). jPCT doesn't do this automatically, because there seems to be no need for it at the moment. But if there ever is, here is the method for doing it... This method uses doubles internally (hence its name) and is therefor more precise than orthonormalize() but also a little bit slower (should be neglectable anyway).
