Vector3d#

class orix.vector.Vector3d(data=None)[source]#

Bases: Object3d

Vector base class.

Vectors support the following mathematical operations:
  • Unary negation.

  • Addition to other vectors, scalars, numbers, and compatible array-like objects.

  • Subtraction to and from the above.

  • Multiplication to scalars, numbers, and compatible array-like objects.

  • Division by the same as multiplication. Division by a vector is not defined in general.
