21 <p>Boost QVM defines various function templates that provide static mapping between (possibly user-defined) quaternion, vector and matrix types. The example below multiplies column
1 (Boost QVM indexes are always zero-based) of the matrix
<i>m
</i> by a scalar:
</p>
22 <pre>void multiply_column1( float33
& m, float scalar )
24 <span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"col.html">col
</a></span><1>(m)
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"operator_mul_eq_vec_scalar_.html">*=
</a></span> scalar;
26 <p>The expression
<i><span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"col.html">col
</a></span><1>(m)
</i> is a lvalue of an unspecified
3D vector type that refers to column
1 of
<i>m
</i>. Note however that this does not create any temporary objects; instead
<i><span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"operator_mul_eq_vec_scalar_.html">operator*=
</a></span></i> above works directly with a reference to
<i>m
</i>.
</p>
27 <p>Here is another example, multiplying a transposed view of a matrix by a vector of some user-defined type
<i>float3
</i>:
</p>
28 <pre>float3 v = {
0,
0,
7};
29 float3 vrot =
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"transposed.html">transposed
</a></span>(
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"rotx_mat_scalar_.html">rotx_mat
</a></span><3>(
3.14159f))
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"operator_times_mat_vec_.html">*
</a></span> v;
</pre>
30 <p>In general, the various view functions return references of unspecified, non-copyable types that refer to the original object. They can be assigned from or converted to any compatible vector or matrix type.
