Matrix3d Class

A Matrix3d is a 3x3 matrix.

  • A very common use is to hold a rigid body rotation (which has no scaling or skew), but the 3x3 contents can also hold scaling and skewing.
  • The matrix with 2-dimensional layout (note: a 2d array can be shown by a matrix)
    [Axx Axy AxzAyx Ayy AyzAzx Azy Azz]\matrixXY{A}
    is stored as 9 numbers in "row-major" order in a Float64Array, viz
    [Axx Axy Axz Ayx Ayy Ayz Azx Azy Azz]\rowMajorMatrixXY{A}
  • If the matrix inverse is known it is stored in the inverseCoffs array.
  • The inverse status (unknown, inverseStored, singular) status is indicated by the inverseState property.
  • Construction methods that are able to trivially construct the inverse, store it immediately and note that in the inverseState.
  • Constructions (e.g. createRowValues) for which the inverse is not immediately known mark the inverseState as unknown.
  • Later queries for the inverse, trigger full computation if needed at that time.
  • Most matrix queries are present with both "column" and "row" variants.
  • Usage elsewhere in the library is typically "column" based. For example, in a Transform that carries a coordinate frame, the matrix columns are the unit vectors for the axes.
