Point and Vector Methods

Point & Vector Methods

The following methods are available for creating and manipulating 3-D points and 3-D vectors. 3-D points and 3-D vectors are represented as zero-based, one-dimensional arrays that contain three numbers. For more information, see the Points and Vectors discussion in RhinoScript Fundamentals.

Method Description
IsVectorParallelTo Compares two vectors to see if they are parallel.
IsVectorPerpendicularTo Compares two vectors to see if they are perpendicular.
IsVectorTiny Verifies a vector is tiny.
IsVectorZero Verifies a vector is zero.
PointAdd Adds a point or a vector to a point.
PointArrayBoundingBox Returns the bounding box of an array of 3-D points.
PointArrayClosestPoint Finds the point in an array of 3-D points that is closest to a test point
PointArrayTransform Transforms an array of 3-D points.
PointClosestObject Finds the object that is closest to a test point.
PointCompare Compares two points.
PointDivide Divides a point by a value.
PointsAreCoplanar Verifies that a list of 3-D points are coplanar.
PointScale Scales a point by a value.
PointSubtract Subtracts a point or a vector from a point.
PointTransform Transforms a point.
ProjectPointToMesh Projects one or more points onto one or more meshes.
ProjectPointToSurface Projects one or more points onto one or more surfaces
PullPoints Pulls points to a surface or a mesh object.
VectorAdd Adds two vectors.
VectorAngle Returns the angle between two 3-D vectors.
VectorCompare Compares two vectors.
VectorCreate Create a vector from two 3-D points.
VectorCrossProduct Returns the cross product of two vectors.
VectorDivide Divides a vector.
VectorDotProduct Returns the dot product of two vectors.
VectorLength Returns the length of a vector.
VectorMultiply Multiplies two vectors.
VectorReverse Reverses a vector.
VectorRotate Rotates a vector.
VectorScale Scales a vector.
VectorSubtract Subtracts two vectors.
VectorTransform Transforms a vector.
VectorUnitaze Unitizes, or normalizes, a vector.
