Name

div()

Class

PVector

Description

Divides a vector by a scalar. The version of the method that uses a float acts directly on the vector upon which it is called (as in the first example above). The version that receives both a PVector and a float as arguments is a static methods, and returns a new PVector that is the result of the division operation. Both examples above produce the same visual output.

Examples

  • PVector v;

void setup() {
  noLoop();
  v = new PVector(30, 60, 0);
}

void draw() {
  ellipse(v.x, v.y, 12, 12);
  v.div(6);
  ellipse(v.x, v.y, 24, 24);
}

  • PVector v1;

void setup() {
  noLoop();
  v1 = new PVector(30, 60, 0);
}

void draw() {
  ellipse(v1.x, v1.y, 12, 12);
  PVector v2 = PVector.div(v1, 6);
  ellipse(v2.x, v2.y, 24, 24);
}

Syntax

  • .div(n)
  • .div(v, n)
  • .div(v, n, target)

Parameters

  • n(float)the number by which to divide the vector
  • v(PVector)the vector to divide by the scalar
  • target(PVector)PVector in which to store the result

Return

  • PVector
