DESCRIPTION
4x4 matrix class/datatype used by many Inventor node and action classes. The matrices are stored in row-
major order.
METHODS
SbMatrix()
SbMatrix(float a11, float a12, float a13, float a14, float a21, float a22, float a23,
float a24, float a31, float a32, float a33, float a34, float a41, float a42, float
a43, float a44)
SbMatrix(const SbMat &m)
Constructors.
void setValue(const SbMat &m)
Sets value from 4x4 array of elements.
void getValue(SbMat &m) const
const SbMat & getValue() const
Returns 4x4 array of elements.
void makeIdentity()
Sets matrix to be identity.
static SbMatrix identity()
Returns an identity matrix.
void setRotate(const SbRotation &q)
Sets matrix to rotate by given rotation.
void setScale(float s)
Sets matrix to scale by given uniform factor.
void setScale(const SbVec3f &s)
Sets matrix to scale by given vector.
void setTranslate(const SbVec3f &t)
Sets matrix to translate by given vector.
void setTransform(const SbVec3f &t, const SbRotation &r, const SbVec3f &s)
void setTransform(const SbVec3f &t, const SbRotation &r, const SbVec3f &s, const SbRotation
&so)
void setTransform(const SbVec3f &translation, const SbRotation &rotation, const SbVec3f
&scaleFactor, const SbRotation &scaleOrientation, const SbVec3f ¢er)
Composes the matrix based on a translation, rotation, scale, orientation for scale, and center. The
center is the center point for scaling and rotation. The scaleOrientation chooses the primary axes for
the scale.
void getTransform(SbVec3f &t, SbRotation &r, SbVec3f &s, SbRotation &so) const
Return translation, rotation, scale, and scale orientation components of the matrix.
void getTransform(SbVec3f &translation, SbRotation &rotation, SbVec3f &scaleFactor,
SbRotation &scaleOrientation, const SbVec3f ¢er) const
Decomposes the matrix into a translation, rotation, scale, and scale orientation. Any projection
information is discarded. The decomposition depends upon choice of center point for rotation and
scaling, which is optional as the last parameter. Note that if the center is 0, decompose() is the
same as factor() where t is translation, u is rotation, s is scaleFactor, and r is ScaleOrientation.
float det3(int r1, int r2, int r3, int c1, int c2, int c3) const
Returns determinant of 3x3 submatrix composed of given row and column indices (0-3 for each).
float det3() const
Returns determinant of upper-left 3x3 submatrix.
float det4() const
Returns determinant of entire matrix.
SbBool factor(SbMatrix &r, SbVec3f &s, SbMatrix &u, SbVec3f &t, SbMatrix &proj) const
Factors a matrix m into 5 pieces: m = r s r^ u t, where r^ means transpose of r, and r and u are
rotations, s is a scale, and t is a translation. Any projection information is returned in proj. NOTE:
the projection matrix is always set to identity.
SbMatrix inverse() const
Returns inverse of matrix. Results are undefined for singular matrices. Uses LU decomposition.
SbBool LUDecomposition(int index[4], float &d)
Perform in-place LU decomposition of matrix. index is index of rows in matrix. d is the parity of row
swaps. Returns FALSE if singular.
void LUBackSubstitution(int index[4], float b[4]) const
Perform back-substitution on LU-decomposed matrix. Index is permutation of rows from original matrix.
SbMatrix transpose() const
Returns transpose of matrix.
SbMatrix & multRight(const SbMatrix &m)
SbMatrix & multLeft(const SbMatrix &m)
Multiplies matrix by given matrix on right or left.
void multMatrixVec(const SbVec3f &src, SbVec3f &dst) const
Multiplies matrix by given column vector, giving vector result.
void multVecMatrix(const SbVec3f &src, SbVec3f &dst) const
Multiplies given row vector by matrix, giving vector result.
void multDirMatrix(const SbVec3f &src, SbVec3f &dst) const
Multiplies given row vector by matrix, giving vector result. src is assumed to be a direction vector,
so translation part of matrix is ignored. Note: if you wish to transform surface points and normals by
a matrix, call multVecMatrix() for the points and call multDirMatrix() on the inverse transpose of
the matrix for the normals.
void multLineMatrix(const SbLine &src, SbLine &dst) const
Multiplies the given line's origin by the matrix, and the line's direction by the rotation portion of
the matrix.
void print(FILE *fp) const
Prints a formatted version of the matrix to the given file pointer.
float * operator float*()
Cast: returns pointer to storage of first element.
SbMat operator SbMat&()
Cast: returns reference to 4x4 array.
float * operator [](int i)
const float * operator [](int i) const
Make it look like a usual matrix (so you can do m[3][2]).
SbMatrix & operator =(const SbMat &m)
Sets value from 4x4 array of elements.
SbMatrix & operator =(const SbMatrix &m)
Set the matrix from another SbMatrix.
SbMatrix & operator =(const SbRotation &q)
Set the matrix from an SbRotation.
SbMatrix & operator *=(const SbMatrix &m)
Performs right multiplication with another matrix.
SbMatrix operator *(const SbMatrix &m1, const SbMatrix &m2)
Binary multiplication of matrices.
int operator ==(const SbMatrix &m1, const SbMatrix &m2)
int operator !=(const SbMatrix &m1, const SbMatrix &m2)
Equality comparison operators.
SbBool equals(const SbMatrix &m, float tolerance) const
Equality comparison within given tolerance, for each component.
