 RMmatrix * rmMatrixNew (void)

 No arguments.

Creates a new RMmatrix matrix, returning a handle to the new object to the caller upon success, or NULL upon failure. Use rmMatrixDelete to free an RMmatrix object. at jogoscasinoonline.eu.

The RMmatrix object is a 4x4 array of floating point values. Applications have two alternative approaches that may be used to set the individual values in the RMmatrix: either by using rmMatrixSetValue()/rmMatrixGetValue(), or through direct C-struct access. Bonus Fara Depunere

The RMmatrix object consists of a single 4x4 array of floating point values. The array is indexed with A[row][column], so that A[3][0] refers to an entry that is in the third row, and zero'th column. That particular entry controls translations along the X axis; in RM, matrix multiplies occur from the left.

The general form of RMmatrices is 

       |  1  0  0  0  |       |  Sx 0  0  0  |
       |  0  1  0  0  |       |  0  Sy 0  0  |
  T =  |  0  0  1  0  |   S = |  0  0  Sz 0  |
       |  Tx Ty Tz 1  |       |  0  0  0  1  |

Where T and S are the translation and scale matrices, respectively.

Access to a specific matrix entity using the C-struct interface would be performed as follows: to access the Tx, or X-axis translation in T above, Tx = matrix->m[3][0], where "matrix" is a handle to the RMmatrix object. The "m" entity is the single matrix struct inside the RMmatrix object.

Access to the same element through the API would be: Tx = rmMatrixGetValue(matrix,3,0).

 RMenum rmPointMatrixTransform (const RMvertex3D *src,
			        const RMmatrix *matrix,
			        RMvertex3D *dst)

 const RMvertex3D *src - a handle to an RMvertex3D object (input). const RMmatrix *matrix - a handle to an RMmatrix object. RMvertex3D *dst - a handle to an RMvertex3D (ouput).

rmPointMatrixTransform is one of a family of routines that perform vector-matrix multiplication. This routine multiplies the RMvertex3D "src" by the matrix, placing the result into RMvertex3D "dst."

This routine differs from rmPoint4MatrixTransform in that it is assumed that the w-coordinate of both "src" and "dst" is 1.0, and that the resulting w-coordinate is not available to the caller upon return.

Returns RM_CHILL upon success, or RM_WHACKED upon failure.

This routine is written such that "src" and "dst" may be the same array from the caller's perspective.

This routine implements the following operation: 




                 |  a  b  c  d  |
                 |  e  f  g  h  |
 [s0 s1 s2 1]  * |  i  j  k  l  | = [d0 d1 d2 n/a]
		 |  m  n  o  p  |

The "src" vector multiplies the matrix from the left (pre multiplication) such that each element of "dst" is the dot product of "src" with a column from the matrix.

 RMenum rmPrintMatrix (const RMmatrix *toPrint)

 const RMmatrix *toPrint - a handle to an RMmatrix that will be
    printed (input).

Prints the contents of an RMmatrix object using C-printf's. Returns RM_CHILL upon success or RM_WHACKED upon failure.

 librm library source file: rmmatrix.c 

 RMenum rmPointMin (const float *input,
	            int count,
		    int vdims,
		    int stride,
		    RMvertex3D *minReturn)

 const float *input - a handle to an array of floating point values
    (input). int count - an integer value indicating the number of "vertices" that
    will be processed (input). int vdims - an integer value indicating the cardinality, or number of
    dimensions, of each vertex. Should be either 1, 2 or 3 (input). int stride - an integer value specifying the stride length in floats
    from one vertex to the next (input). RMvertex3D *minReturn - a handle to an RMvertex3D object (modified).

Finds the minimum point, or vertex value, from a flat array of floating point values. Upon success, the minimum vertex value is copied into the caller-supplied "minReturn," and RM_CHILL is returned. Otherwise, RM_WHACKED is returned upon failure.

The parameter "vdims" defines the number of coordinates in each vertex. Use a value of 2 to specify two-dimensional vertices (x and y values), or 3 for three-dimensional vertices (x, y and z values). A value of 1 is also acceptable.

The parameter "count" specifies how many such vertices are present in the input array. Note that this routine assumes that "input" is just a flat array of floats, and will be logically interpreted as groups of vertices, each of which consists of "vdims" floats per vertex. The coordinates of each vertex are assumed to be contiguously located.

The parameter "stride" tells how many floating point values to skip from one vertex to the next. If we assume that "input" consists of a flat array of RMvertex3D objects (cast to float * when calling this routine), the best way to compute "stride" is: 

       stride = sizeof(RMvertex3D)/sizeof(float)

The reason for "stride" is because some platforms force padding of C-structures to the nearest 8-byte boundary. Hence, sizeof(RMvertex3D) is not always equal to sizeof(float)*3.

 librm library source file: rmmatrix.c 

 RMenum rmPointMax (const float *input,

    (input). int count - an integer value indicating the number of "vertices" that
    will be processed (input). int vdims - an integer value indicating the cardinality, or number of
    dimensions, of each vertex. Should be either 1, 2 or 3 (input). int stride - an integer value specifying the stride length in floats
    from one vertex to the next (input). RMvertex3D *maxReturn - a handle to an RMvertex3D object (modified).

Finds the maximum point, or vertex value, from a flat array of floating point values. Upon success, the maximum vertex value is copied into the caller-supplied "maxReturn," and RM_CHILL is returned. Otherwise, RM_WHACKED is returned upon failure.

The parameter "vdims" defines the number of coordinates in each vertex. Use a value of 2 to specify two-dimensional vertices (x and y values), or 3 for three-dimensional vertices (x, y and z values). A value of 1 is also acceptable.

The parameter "count" specifies how many such vertices are present in the input array. Note that this routine assumes that "input" is just a flat array of floats, and will be logically interpreted as groups of vertices, each of which consists of "vdims" floats per vertex.

    (input). int count - an integer value indicating the number of "vertices" that
    will be processed (input). int vdims - an integer value indicating the cardinality, or number of
    dimensions, of each vertex. Should be either 1, 2 or 3 (input). int stride - an integer value specifying the stride length in floats
    from one vertex to the next (input). RMvertex3D *minReturn, *maxReturn - handles to RMvertex3D objects
    (modified).

Finds the minimum and maximum points, or vertex values, from a flat array of floating point values. Upon success, the minimum and maximum vertex values are copied into the caller-supplied "minReturn" and "maxReturn," respectively, and RM_CHILL is returned. Otherwise, RM_WHACKED is returned upon failure.

The parameter "vdims" defines the number of coordinates in each vertex. Use a value of 2 to specify two-dimensional vertices (x and y values), or 3 for three-dimensional vertices (x, y and z values). A value of 1 is also acceptable.

The parameter "count" specifies how many such vertices are present in the input array. Note that this routine assumes that "input" is just a flat array of floats, and will be logically interpreted as groups of vertices, each of which consists of "vdims" floats per vertex.

 RMenum rmVertex3DNormalize (RMvertex3D *toNormalize)

 RMvertex3D *toNormalize - a handle to the RMvertex3D object
    (modified).

Use this routine to normalize the 3-component vector contained in an RMvertex3D object. Inside this routine, the vector magnitude of the RMvertex3D object is computed. Next, if the magnitude is non-zero, each component of the vector is divided by the magnitude, and RM_CHILL is returned. If the magnitude is zero, RM_WHACKED is returned.

 librm library source file: rmmatrix.c 

 RMenum rmVertex3DMagNormalize (RMvertex3D *toNormalize,

    array value should be in the range 0..1, specifying the viewport
    origin and width/height in NDC coordinates. The array is in the
    following order: xmin, ymin, xmax,ymax. In other words, the
    viewport is specified using two coordinates defining the min/max
    corners of the viewport in NDC space. int windowWidth, windowHeight - integer values specifying the width
    and height in pixels of the display window (input).

Use this routine to compute the device coordinates from world coordinates. RM_CHILL is returned upon success, or RM_WHACKED upon failure.

Each RMvertex3D from "src", of which there are nPoints, is transformed through a derived projection matrix producing window (pixel) coordinates that are placed into "dst." Each dst[i] represents the projected window coordinates of src[i]. The derived projection matrix consists of an optional modeling transformation matrix (model), and a viewing matrix computed from the camera model defined by the input RMcamera3D object.
