/*! # nalgebra **nalgebra** is a linear algebra library written for Rust targeting: * general-purpose linear algebra (still misses a lot of features…). * real time computer graphics. * real time computer physics. ## Using **nalgebra** All the functionalities of **nalgebra** are grouped in one place: the `na` module. This module re-exports everything and includes free functions for all traits methods. Free functions are useful if you prefer doing something like: `na::dot(v1, v2)` instead of `v1.dot(v2)`. * You can import the whole prelude, including free functions, using: ```.rust pub use nalgebra::na::*; ``` * If you dont want to import everything but only every trait: ```.rust pub use nalgebra::traits::*; ``` * If you dont want to import everything but only every structure: ```.rust pub use nalgebra::structs::*; ``` Of course, you can still import `nalgebra::na` alone, and get anything you want using the `na` prefix. ## Features **nalgebra** is meant to be a general-purpose linear algebra library (but is very far from that…), and keeps an optimized set of tools for computational graphics and physics. Those features include: * Vectors with static sizes: `Vec0`, `Vec1`, `Vec2`, ..., `Vec6`. * Square matrices with static sizes: `Mat1`, `Mat2`, ..., `Mat6 `. * Rotation matrices: `Rot2`, `Rot3`, `Rot4`. * Isometries: `Iso2`, `Iso3`, `Iso4`. * Dynamically sized vector: `DVec`. * Dynamically sized (square or rectangular) matrix: `DMat`. * A few methods for data analysis: `Cov`, `Mean`. * Operator overloading using the double trait dispatch [trick](http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/10/04/refining-traits-slash-impls/). For example, the following work: ```rust extern mod nalgebra; use std::num::{Zero, One}; use nalgebra::na::{Vec3, Mat3}; fn main() { let v: Vec3 = Zero::zero(); let m: Mat3 = One::one(); let _ = m * v; // matrix-vector multiplication. let _ = v * m; // vector-matrix multiplication. let _ = m * m; // matrix-matrix multiplication. let _ = v * 2.0; // vector-scalar multiplication. } ``` * Almost one trait per functionality: useful for generic programming. ## Compilation You will need the last rust compiler from the master branch. If you encounter problems, make sure you have the last version before creating an issue. git clone git://github.com/sebcrozet/nalgebra.git cd nalgebra make You can build the documentation on the `doc` folder using: ```.rust make doc ``` ## **nalgebra** in use Here are some projects using **nalgebra**.
