Vectors are used everywhere in FreeCAD.

Example:

v=FreeCAD.Vector()
v=FreeCAD.Vector(1,0,0)
v=FreeCAD.Base.Vector()
v2 = FreeCAD.Vector(3,2,-5)
v3 = v.add(v2)
print v3.Length
Length

Returns: returns the length of the vector.

add(Vector)

Description: adds another vector to this one.

Returns: vector

cross(Vector)

Description: the crossproduct between this vector and another.

Returns: vector

distanceToLine(Vector1,Vector2)

Description: the distance between the vector and a line through Vector1 in direction Vector2.

Returns: float

distanceToPoint(Vector)

Description: the distance between this vector and another.

Returns: float

distanceToLineSegment(Vector1,Vector2)

Description: a vector to the closest point on a line segment from Vector1 to Vector2.

Returns: Vector

distanceToPlane(Vector1,Vector2)

Description: the distance between the vector and a plane defined by a point and a normal.

Returns: float

dot(Vector)

Description: the dot product between 2 vectors.

Returns: float

getAngle(Vector)

Description: the angle in radians between this vector and another.

Returns: float

isEqual(Vector2,tolerance)

Description: Checks if the distance between the points represented by this Vector and Vector2 is less than or equal to the given tolerance.

Returns: True/False

isNormal(Vector2,tolerance)

Description: Checks if this Vector is normal to Vector2 within the tolerance.

Returns: True/False

isOnLineSegment(Vector1,Vector2)

Description: Checks if this vector is on the line segment generated by Vector1 and Vector2.

Returns: Vector

isParallel(Vector2,tolerance)

Description: Checks if this Vector is parallel to Vector2 within the tolerance.

Returns: True/False

multiply(Float)

Description: multiplies (uniform scale) a vector by the given factor.

Returns: nothing

negative(Vector)

Description: Returns the negative (opposite) of this vector.

Returns: Vector

normalize( )

Description: normalizes a vector (sets its length to 1.0).

Returns: nothing

projectToLine(Vector1,Vector2)

Description: projects the vector on a line through Vector1 in direction Vector2.

Returns: nothing

projectToPlane(Vector1,Vector2)

Description: projects the vector on a plane defined by a point (Vector1) and a normal (Vector2).

Returns: nothing

scale(Float,Float,Float)

Description: Same as multiply but lets specify different values for x, y and z directions. (non-uniform scale)

Returns: nothing

sub(Vector)

Description: subtracts another vector from this one.

Returns: vector

x

Returns: the x coordinate of a vector.

y

Returns: the y coordinate of a vector.

z

Returns: the z coordinate of a vector.
