Member Function Documentation

QMatrix4x4::QMatrix4x4 ()

Constructs an identity matrix.

QMatrix4x4::QMatrix4x4 ( const qreal * values )

Constructs a matrix from the given 16 floating-point values. The contents of the array values is assumed to be in row-major order.

If the matrix has a special type (identity, translate, scale, etc), the programmer should follow this constructor with a call to optimize() if they wish QMatrix4x4 to optimize further calls to translate(), scale(), etc.

See also copyDataTo() and optimize().

QMatrix4x4::QMatrix4x4 ( qreal m11, qreal m12, qreal m13, qreal m14, qreal m21, qreal m22, qreal m23, qreal m24, qreal m31, qreal m32, qreal m33, qreal m34, qreal m41, qreal m42, qreal m43, qreal m44 )

Constructs a matrix from the 16 elements m11, m12, m13, m14, m21, m22, m23, m24, m31, m32, m33, m34, m41, m42, m43, and m44. The elements are specified in row-major order.

If the matrix has a special type (identity, translate, scale, etc), the programmer should follow this constructor with a call to optimize() if they wish QMatrix4x4 to optimize further calls to translate(), scale(), etc.

See also optimize().

QMatrix4x4::QMatrix4x4 ( const QGenericMatrix<N, M, qreal> & matrix )

Constructs a 4x4 matrix from the left-most 4 columns and top-most 4 rows of matrix. If matrix has less than 4 columns or rows, the remaining elements are filled with elements from the identity matrix.

See also toGenericMatrix() and qGenericMatrixToMatrix4x4().

QMatrix4x4::QMatrix4x4 ( const QTransform & transform )

Constructs a 4x4 matrix from the conventional Qt 2D transformation matrix transform.

If transform has a special type (identity, translate, scale, etc), the programmer should follow this constructor with a call to optimize() if they wish QMatrix4x4 to optimize further calls to translate(), scale(), etc.

See also toTransform() and optimize().

QMatrix4x4::QMatrix4x4 ( const QMatrix & matrix )

Constructs a 4x4 matrix from a conventional Qt 2D affine transformation matrix.

If matrix has a special type (identity, translate, scale, etc), the programmer should follow this constructor with a call to optimize() if they wish QMatrix4x4 to optimize further calls to translate(), scale(), etc.

See also toAffine() and optimize().

Returns the elements of column index as a 4D vector.

See also setColumn() and row().

Returns a constant pointer to the raw data of this matrix.

See also data().

void QMatrix4x4::fill ( qreal value )

Fills all elements of this matrx with value.

void QMatrix4x4::flipCoordinates ()

Flips between right-handed and left-handed coordinate systems by multiplying the y and z co-ordinates by -1. This is normally used to create a left-handed orthographic view without scaling the viewport as ortho() does.

See also ortho().

void QMatrix4x4::frustum ( qreal left, qreal right, qreal bottom, qreal top, qreal nearPlane, qreal farPlane )

Multiplies this matrix by another that applies a perspective frustum projection for a window with lower-left corner (left, bottom), upper-right corner (right, top), and the specified nearPlane and farPlane clipping planes.

See also ortho() and perspective().

QMatrix4x4 QMatrix4x4::inverted ( bool * invertible = 0 ) const

Returns the inverse of this matrix. Returns the identity if this matrix cannot be inverted; i.e. determinant() is zero. If invertible is not null, then true will be written to that location if the matrix can be inverted; false otherwise.

If the matrix is recognized as the identity or an orthonormal matrix, then this function will quickly invert the matrix using optimized routines.

See also determinant() and normalMatrix().

bool QMatrix4x4::isIdentity () const

Returns true if this matrix is the identity; false otherwise.

See also setToIdentity().

void QMatrix4x4::lookAt ( const QVector3D & eye, const QVector3D & center, const QVector3D & up )

See also mapRect().

See also map().

QMatrix3x3 QMatrix4x4::normalMatrix () const

Returns the normal matrix corresponding to this 4x4 transformation. The normal matrix is the transpose of the inverse of the top-left 3x3 part of this 4x4 matrix. If the 3x3 sub-matrix is not invertible, this function returns the identity.

See also inverted().

void QMatrix4x4::optimize ()

Optimize the usage of this matrix from its current elements.

Some operations such as translate(), scale(), and rotate() can be performed more efficiently if the matrix being modified is already known to be the identity, a previous translate(), a previous scale(), etc.

Normally the QMatrix4x4 class keeps track of this special type internally as operations are performed. However, if the matrix is modified directly with operator()() or data(), then QMatrix4x4 will lose track of the special type and will revert to the safest but least efficient operations thereafter.

By calling optimize() after directly modifying the matrix, the programmer can force QMatrix4x4 to recover the special type if the elements appear to conform to one of the known optimized types.

See also operator()(), data(), and translate().

void QMatrix4x4::ortho ( qreal left, qreal right, qreal bottom, qreal top, qreal nearPlane, qreal farPlane )
