Description

Description:: Returns normalized vector (unit vector, vectorMagnitude == 1) of given vector. If given vector is 0 result is a 0 vector as well.

2.14
Since 2.14 any count of numbers is valid.
Before 2.14, the first argument had to be vector 3D, or 2.00 2D (Which still returned 3D result, with z coordinate defaulted to 0)
Groups:: Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:: vectorNormalized vector
Parameters:: vector: Array of Numbers
Return Value:: Array

Examples

Example 1:: vectorNormalized [12345,7890,38383]; // [0.300481,0.192045,0.934254] vectorMagnitude [0.300481,0.192045,0.934254]; // 1

Vector = [x,y,z]; Result = [x/(sqrt (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2)), y/(sqrt (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2)), z/(sqrt (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2))];
In mathematics, a unit vector in a normed vector space is a vector whose length is 1.
