DESCRIPTION

Class to hold all support functions for geometry (ie RiVector3 and RiVector2). All checks for coplanarity, colinearity, non-exact RiVector3 equality, and other general queries that shouldn't clutter up RiVector3 and RiVector2 belong here.

int IndexOfMinAbsComponent( const RiVector3& v );

Return the index [0-2] for the minimum element of the absolute value of the vector

    static int IndexOfMinAbsComponent( const RiVector3& v );

int IndexOfMaxAbsComponent( const RiVector3& v );

 Return the index [0-2] for the maximum element of the absolute value of the vector

    static int IndexOfMaxAbsComponent( const RiVector3& v );

RiVector3 PerpendicularVector(const RiVector3 &v);

 Return a vector perpendicular to the given vector.

    static RiVector3 PerpendicularVector(const RiVector3 &v);

RiReal AngleBetweenVectors(const RiVector3& v1, const RiVector3& v2);

 Return the angle between two RiVectors in radians

    static RiReal AngleBetweenVectors(const RiVector3& v1, const RiVector3& v2);

RiVector3 Reflect( const RiVector3& a, const RiVector3& n );

 returns reflection of a with respect to n

    static RiVector3 Reflect( const RiVector3& a, const RiVector3& n );

RiUnitVector3 UnitReflect( const RiUnitVector3& a, const RiUnitVector3& n );

 returns unit reflection of unit a with respect to unit n

    static RiUnitVector3 UnitReflect( const RiUnitVector3& a, const RiUnitVector3& n );

RiUnitVector3 DirectionFromSphericalCoordinates( RiReal theta, RiReal phi );

 returns unit vector v in direction (theta, phi), where theta is angle in radians between v and z-axis, and phi is the azimuthal angle relative to x-axis 

     static RiUnitVector3 DirectionFromSphericalCoordinates( RiReal theta, RiReal phi );
