Detailed Description¶
Vectors are one of the main building blocks of 3D representation and drawing. They consist of three finite floating-point coordinates, traditionally called x, y, and z.
The QVector3D class can also be used to represent vertices in 3D space. We therefore do not need to provide a separate vertex class.

- Return type
Returns the cross-product of vectors v1 and v2, which is normal to the plane spanned by v1 and v2. It will be zero if the two vectors are parallel.

Returns the distance from this vertex to a plane defined by the vertex plane and a normal unit vector. The normal parameter is assumed to have been normalized to a unit vector.
The return value will be negative if the vertex is below the plane, or zero if it is on the plane.

- static PySide6.QtGui.QVector3D.normal(v1, v2)¶
- Parameters
- Return type
Returns the unit normal vector of a plane spanned by vectors v1 and v2, which must not be parallel to one another.

- Parameters
- Return type
Returns the unit normal vector of a plane spanned by vectors v2 - v1 and v3 - v1, which must not be parallel to one another.
Use crossProduct() to compute the cross-product of v2 - v1 and v3 - v1 if you do not need the result to be normalized to a unit vector.

- PySide6.QtGui.QVector3D.normalize()¶
Normalizes the currect vector in place. Nothing happens if this vector is a null vector or the length of the vector is very close to 1.
See also
- PySide6.QtGui.QVector3D.normalized()¶
- Return type
Returns the normalized unit vector form of this vector.
If this vector is null, then a null vector is returned. If the length of the vector is very close to 1, then the vector will be returned as-is. Otherwise the normalized form of the vector of length 1 will be returned.
