normalize 429
typeIndicator Optional. Specifies the type of the new texture. If omitted, the new texture is
created with no specific type. Valid values include the following:
• #fromCastMember (a cast member)
• #fromImageObject (a Lingo image object)
sourceObjectReference Optional. Specifies a reference to the source cast member or Lingo
image object. If omitted, the new texture is created from no specific source.
sourceObjectReference must refer to a cast member if typeIndicator is #fromCastMember,
and it must refer to a Lingo image object if
typeIndicator is #fromImageObject.
Example
The first line of this statement creates a new texture called Grass 02 from cast member 5 of
castlib 1. The second line creates a blank new texture called Blank.
member("3D World").newTexture("Grass \
02",#fromCastMember,member(5,1))
member("3D World").newTexture("Blank")
normalize
Usage
normalize(vector)
vector.normalize()
Description
3D command; normalizes a vector by dividing the x, y, and z components by the vector’s
magnitude. Vectors that have been normalized always have a magnitude of 1.
Parameters
None.
Example
This statement shows the value of the vector MyVec before and after being normalized:
MyVec = vector(-209.9019, 1737.5126, 0.0000)
MyVec.normalize()
put MyVec
-- vector(-0.1199, 0.9928, 0.0000)
put MyVec.magnitude
-- 1.0000
This statement shows the value of the vector ThisVector before and after being normalized.
ThisVector = vector(-50.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000)
normalize(ThisVector)
put ThisVector
-- vector(-1.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000)
