# vector4d QML Basic Type

A vector4d type has x, y, z and w attributes.

A `vector4d` type has `x`, `y`, `z` and `w` attributes, otherwise it is similar to the `vector3d` type. Please see the documentation about the `vector3d` type for more information.

To create a `vector4d` value, specify it as a "x,y,z,w" string, or define the components individually, or compose it with the Qt.vector4d() function.

The vector4d type has the following idempotent functions which can be invoked in QML:

Function Signature | Description | Example
--- | --- | ---

real dotProduct(vector4d other)

Returns the scalar real result of the dot product of `this` vector4d with the `other` vector4d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = Qt.vector4d(5,6,7,8);
      var c = a.dotProduct(b);
      console.log(c); // 70

vector4d times(matrix4x4 matrix)

Returns the vector4d result of transforming `this` vector4d with the 4x4 `matrix` with the matrix applied post-vector

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = Qt.matrix4x4(4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19);
      var c = a.times(b);
      console.log(c.toString()); // QVector4D(120, 130, 140, 150)

vector4d times(vector4d other)

Returns the vector4d result of multiplying `this` vector4d with the `other` vector4d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = Qt.vector4d(5,6,7,8);
      var c = a.times(b);
      console.log(c.toString()); // QVector4D(5, 12, 21, 32)

vector4d times(real factor)

Returns the vector4d result of multiplying `this` vector4d with the scalar `factor`

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = 4.48;
      var c = a.times(b);
      console.log(c.toString()); // QVector3D(4.48, 8.96,
                                              13.44, 17.92)

vector4d plus(vector4d other)

Returns the vector4d result of the addition of `this` vector4d with the `other` vector4d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = Qt.vector4d(5,6,7,8);
      var c = a.plus(b);
      console.log(c.toString()); // QVector4D(6, 8, 10, 12)

vector4d minus(vector4d other)

Returns the vector4d result of the subtraction of `other` vector4d from `this` vector4d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = Qt.vector4d(5,6,7,8);
      var c = a.minus(b);
      console.log(c.toString()); // QVector4D(-4, -4, -4, -4)

vector4d normalized()

Returns the normalized form of `this` vector

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = a.normalized();
      console.log(b.toString());
      // QVector4D(0.182574, 0.365148, 0.547723, 0.730297)

real length()

Returns the scalar real value of the length of `this` vector3d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = a.length();
      console.log(b.toString()); // 5.477225575051661

vector2d toVector2d()

Returns the vector2d result of converting `this` vector4d to a vector2d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = a.toVector2d();
      console.log(b.toString()); // QVector2D(1, 2)

vector3d toVector3d()

Returns the vector3d result of converting `this` vector4d to a vector3d

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = a.toVector3d();
      console.log(b.toString()); // QVector3D(1, 2, 3)

bool fuzzyEquals(vector4d other, real epsilon)

Returns true if `this` vector4d is approximately equal to the `other` vector4d. The approximation will be true if each attribute of `this` is within `epsilon` of `other`. Note that `epsilon` is an optional argument, the default `epsilon` is 0.00001.

      var a = Qt.vector4d(1,2,3,4);
      var b = Qt.vector4d(1.0001, 1.9998, 2.0001, 3.9999);
      var c = a.fuzzyEquals(b);        // default epsilon
      var d = a.fuzzyEquals(b, 0.005); // supplied epsilon
      console.log(c + " " + d); // false true
