VMD#

This is a Python binding to the C++ class Mantid::Kernel::VMD.

class mantid.kernel.VMD#

angle((VMD)self, (VMD)other) → float :#: Returns the angle between the vectors in radians (0 < theta < pi). If the dimensions do not match a RuntimeError is raised

cross_prod((VMD)self, (VMD)other) → VMD :#: Returns the cross product of this vector with another. If the number of dimensions do not match a RuntimeError is raised

getNumDims((VMD)self) → int :#: Returns the number of dimensions the contained in the vector

norm((VMD)self) → float :#: Returns the length of the vector

norm2((VMD)self) → float :#: Returns the squared length of the vector

normalize((VMD)self) → float :#: Normalizes the length of the vector to unity and returns the length before it was normalized

scalar_prod((VMD)self, (VMD)other) → float :#: Returns the scalar product of this vector with another. If the number of dimensions do not match a RuntimeError is raised
