perpendicularTo
Syntax
vector1
.perpendicularTo(vector2
)
Description
3D vector command; returns a vector perpendicular to both the original vector and a second vector (
vector2
)
. This command is equivalent to the vector crossProduct
command. See crossProduct()
.
Example
In this example, pos1 is a vector on the x axis and pos2 is a vector on the y axis. The value returned by pos1.perpendicularTo(pos2)
is vector( 0.0000, 0.0000, 1.00000e4 )
. The last two lines of the example show the vector which is perpendicular to both pos1 and pos2.
pos1 = vector(100, 0, 0) pos2 = vector(0, 100, 0) put pos1.perpendicularTo(pos2) -- vector( 0.0000, 0.0000, 1.00000e4 )
