A 4x4 matrix which stores its elements as floats. It is frequently used in transformation-related functions. (i.e. translation, rotation, scale, etc.)

Constructors

Constructor Description
cMatrixf() Creates a matrix with default values.
cMatrixf(cVector4f, cVector4f, cVector4f, cVector4f) Creates a matrix using the given vectors as column data.
cMatrixf(float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float) Creates a matrix using the given values as cell data.

Fields

cMatrixf has no public fields.

Remarks

To retrieve a value from a matrix, use the GetElement function above. The parameters for the GetElement function use the format GetElement(columnIndex, rowIndex). 

cMatrixf m1(cVector4f(0, 1, 2, 3), 
            cVector4f(4, 5, 6, 7), 
	        cVector4f(8, 9, 10, 11), 
	        cVector4f(12, 13, 14, 15));

float f = m1.GetElement(1, 2);

// value of f: 9

To do matrix computations, use the cMath_MatrixXXX family of functions. 

cMatrixf m1(cVector4f(1, 1, 1, 1), 
            cVector4f(2, 2, 2, 2), 
            cVector4f(3, 3, 3, 3), 
            cVector4f(4, 4, 4, 4));

cMatrixf m2(cVector4f(5, 5, 5, 5), 
            cVector4f(6, 6, 6, 6), 
            cVector4f(7, 7, 7, 7), 
            cVector4f(8, 8, 8, 8));
            
cMatrixf m3 = cMath_MatrixMul(m1, m2);

// value of m3: { 26,  26,  26,  26,
//                52,  52,  52,  52,
//                78,  78,  78,  78,
//                104, 104, 104, 104 }
