Functional Details

DXNeg, DXNormalize, DXLength

Perform unary operations of negation, normalization, and length.

DXAdd, DXSub, DXMin, DXMax

Perform vector operations of addition, subtraction, min, and max. Min and max are performed on each component of a vector.

DXMul, DXDiv

Multiply or divide a vector by a float.

DXDot, DXCross

Form the dot product or cross-product of two vectors.

A Point and Vector are defined as follows:


typedef struct point {
    float x, y, z;
} Point, Vector;

Return Value Each routine returns the result of its operation.
