Detailed Description

Vectors are one of the main building blocks of 4D affine representations of 3D space. They consist of four finite floating-point coordinates, traditionally called x, y, z and w.

The QVector4D class can also be used to represent vertices in 4D space. We therefore do not need to provide a separate vertex class.

PySide6.QtGui.QVector4D.lengthSquared()

Return type

float

Returns the squared length of the vector from the origin. This is equivalent to the dot product of the vector with itself.

PySide6.QtGui.QVector4D.normalize()

Normalizes the currect vector in place. Nothing happens if this vector is a null vector or the length of the vector is very close to 1.

See also

length() normalized()

PySide6.QtGui.QVector4D.normalized()

Return type

PySide6.QtGui.QVector4D

Returns the normalized unit vector form of this vector.

If this vector is null, then a null vector is returned. If the length of the vector is very close to 1, then the vector will be returned as-is. Otherwise the normalized form of the vector of length 1 will be returned.
