Mathematical structures for Swift

CoronaMath

CoronaMath is a cross-platform vector and matrix library for Swift. All types are parameterized, so any type that defines a set of mathematical operations can be used as components of a vector or elements of a matrix. Where applicable, protocols declare default implementations of their methods. This way, types can opt-in to a wide spectrum of behavior while only declaring minimal required properties.

Comprehensive documentation can be found here.

Vectors

All vectors are represented as an array of components of a given type. All vectors are declared with the suffix Base to represent that you will usually be dealing with an abstracted version instead of the type directly.


Protocols

VectorBase

Represents a vector. Declares size, elements, and element access.

SignedVectorBase

Represents a vector whose components have a sign. Includes the mathematical negation operator -.

FloatingPointVectorBase

Represents a vector whose components are floating point. Includes length, dot, and unit methods.


Structs

PointBase

A 2-dimensional vector. Exposes x and y properties for convenience. Point is equivalent to PointBase<Double>. IntPoint is equivalent to PointBase<Int>.

Vector3Base

A 3-dimensional vector. Exposes x, y, and z properties for convenience. Exposes r, g, b, and red, green, blue properties to semantically represent RGB colors. Vector3Base+Color declares some common color names as static properties.

Vector4Base

A 4-dimensional vector. Exposes x, y, z, and w properties for convenience. Exposes r, g, b, a and red, green, blue, alpha properties to semantically represent RGBA colors (including an alpha component). Vector4Base+Color declares some common color names as static properties.

SizeBase

A 2-dimensional vector representing a size or dimensions. Exposes width and height properties for convenience, along with rows and columns properties for matrix dimensions.


Matrices

All matrices are represented as an array of elements of a given type. All vectors are declared with the suffix Base to represent that you will usually be dealing with an abstracted version instead of the type directly.

Although logically, a matrix declares many mathematical operations, in practice, most of those operations aren't needed for many types. Therefore, the operations have been moved from MatrixBase (the protocol representing a matrix) to MatrixOperationsBase. ConstantSizeMatrix and SquareMatrix provide default implementations of some of these operations.


Protocols

MatrixBase

Represents a matrix. Declares dimensions, elements, element access, and matrix multiplication.

MatrixOperationsBase

Represents a matrix with the full spectrum of mathematical operations.

ConstantSizeMatrix

Represents a matrix whose dimensions are known at compile time.

SquareMatrix

Represents a matrix whose dimensions are known at compile time and whose number of rows equal its number of columns.


Structs

Matrix3Base

A 3x3 matrix.

Matrix4Base

A 4x4 matrix.

VariableSizeMatrix

A matrix whose dimensions are determined at runtime. Once a VariableSizeMatrix is created, its dimensions cannot be changed, but different instances can have different dimensions.
