# *mat4* library
|
|
|
|
*mat4* contains a set of functions for work with transformation 4x4 matrices.
|
|
|
|
Most functions have several options for argument lists (overloads).
|
|
|
|
## Data types
|
|
|
|
Type conventions will be used on this page.
|
|
- vector - an array of three or four numbers
|
|
- vec3 - array of three numbers
|
|
- vec4 - array of four numbers
|
|
- matrix - array of 16 numbers - matrix
|
|

## Identity matrix - *mat4.idt(...)*
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- creates an identity matrix
|
|
mat4.idt()
|
|
|
|
-- writes an identity matrix to dst
|
|
mat4.idt(dst: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Matrix determinant - *mat4.determinant(...)*
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- calculates the determinant of the matrix
|
|
mat4.determinant(m: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Matrix multiplication - *mat4.mul(...)*
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- returns the result of matrix multiplication
|
|
mat4.mul(a: matrix, b: matrix)
|
|
-- writes the result of matrix multiplication to dst
|
|
mat4.mul(a: matrix, b: matrix, dst: matrix)
|
|
|
|
-- returns the result of multiplying a matrix and a vector
|
|
mat4.mul(a: matrix, v: vector)
|
|
-- writes the result of matrix and vector multiplication to dst
|
|
mat4.mul(a: matrix, v: vector, dst: vector)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Matrix inversion - *mat4.inverse(...)*
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- returns the result of matrix inversion
|
|

|
|
-- writes the result of matrix inversion to dst
|
|
mat4.inverse(m: matrix, dst: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Matrix transposition - *mat4.transpose(...)*
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- returns the result of matrix transposition
|
|

|
|
-- writes the result of matrix transposition to dst
|
|
mat4.transpose(m: matrix, dst: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Offset - *mat4.translate(...)*
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- creates a translation matrix
|
|
mat4.translate(translation: vec3)
|
|
-- returns the result of applying a translation to matrix m
|
|
mat4.translate(m: matrix, translation: vec3)
|
|
-- writes the result of applying a translation to matrix m to dst
|
|
mat4.translate(m: matrix, translation: vec3, dst: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
## Scaling - *mat4.scale(...)*
|
|
|
|

|
|
-- creates a scaling matrix
|
|
mat4.scale(scale: vec3)
|
|
-- returns the result of applying scaling to matrix m

|
mat4.scale(m: matrix, scale: vec3)
|
|
-- writes the result of applying scaling to matrix m to dst
|
|
mat4.scale(m: matrix, scale: vec3, dst: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rotation - *mat4.rotate(...)*
|
|
|
|
The angle of rotation is indicated in degrees.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- creates a rotation matrix (angle - rotation angle) along a given axis (axis is an unit vector)
|
|
mat4.rotate(axis: vec3, angle: number)
|
|
-- returns the result of applying rotation to matrix m
|
|
mat4.rotate(m: matrix, axis: vec3, angle: number)
|
|
-- writes the result of applying rotation to matrix m to dst
|
|
mat4.rotate(m: matrix, axis: vec3, angle: number, dst: matrix)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Decomposition - *mat4.decompose(...)*
|
|
|
|
Decomposes the transformation matrix into its components.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
mat4.decompose(m: matrix)
|
|
-- returns a table:
|
|
{
|
|
scale=vec3,
|
|
rotation=matrix,
|
|
translation=vec3,
|
|
skew=vec3,
|

|
```
|
|
|
