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.

Return type:

float

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.

length() dotProduct()

PySide6.QtGui.QVector4D.normalize()#

Normalizes the current 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.
