**nalgebra** is a low-dimensional linear algebra library written for Rust targeting:
Huge api change! Everything changed, hopefully for the best. * everything is accessible from the `na` module. It re-export everything and provides free functions (i-e: na::dot(a, b) instead of a.dot(b)) for most functionalities. * matrix/vector adaptors (Rotmat, Transform) are replaced by plain types: Rot{2, 3, 4} for rotation matrices and Iso{2, 3, 4} for isometries (rotation + translation). This old adaptors system was to hard to understand and to document. * each file related to data structures moved to the `structs` folder. This makes the doc a lot more readable and make people prefer the `na` module instead of individual small modules. * Because `na` exists now, the modules `structs::vec` and `structs::mat` dont re-export anything now. As a side effect, this makes the documentation more readable.

## Using **nalgebra**
Complete the documentation.
2016-03-25 02:04:01 +08:00
All the functionality of **nalgebra** is grouped in one place: the root module `nalgebra::`. This
module re-exports everything and includes free functions for all traits methods performing
out-of-place operations.

Use full names for everything. Note that `sqdist` becomes `distance_squared` and `sqnorm` becomes `norm_squared`. Fix #176.
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
Thus, you can import the whole prelude using:

2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
However, the recommended way to use **nalgebra** is to import types and traits
explicitly, and call free-functions using the `na::` prefix:
Remove free-functions alliasing structures constructors. Those constructors are not idiomatic. Use e.g. `Vec3::new(0, 0, 0)` instead.
