Detailed Description

Implementation of a point.

This class provides an implementation of a point in float. Numerous convienence operators are provided to help with the manipulation of points. This includes operators that work with the MFloatVector and MFloatMatrix classes.

All methods that query the point are threadsafe, all methods that modify the point are not threadsafe.

Examples:

animCubeNode.cpp, anisotropicShader.cpp, blindDataMesh.cpp, cellShader.cpp, cgfxShaderNode.cpp, flameShader.cpp, hwPhongShader.cpp, intersectCmd.cpp, lavaShader.cpp, meshOpFtyAction.cpp, noiseShader.cpp, polyPrimitiveCmd.cpp, renderAccessNode.cpp, sampleCmd.cpp, sampleParticles.cpp, shellNode.cpp, and solidCheckerShader.cpp.
