Function Documentation

template<typename T>

void geom::computeCrossProduct	(	const ads::FixedArray< 3, T > &	x,
		const ads::FixedArray< 3, T > &	y,
		ads::FixedArray< 3, T > *	result
	)

Compute the cross product of x and y.

This exists as an optimization of geom::cross(). With this function there is no need to construct an ads::FixedArray.

template<int N, typename T>

T geom::computeDotProduct	(	const ads::FixedArray< N, T > &	x,
		const ads::FixedArray< N, T > &	y
	)

Return the dot product of x and y.

This has specializations for 1, 2 and 3-D.
