Struct Basis

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Basis {
    pub rows: [Vector3; 3],
}

A 3x3 matrix, typically used as an orthogonal basis for Transform3D.

Indexing into a Basis is done in row-major order. So mat[1] would return the first row and not the first column/basis vector. This means that indexing into the matrix happens in the same order it usually does in math, except that we index starting at 0.

The basis vectors are the columns of the matrix, whereas the rows field represents the row vectors.

Note that the names of the column vectors here are a, b, and c, which differs from Godot’s convention of x, y, and z. This is because columns are the basis vectors of the transform, while rows represent the X/Y/Z coordinates of each vector. Although basis vectors are the transformed unit vectors of X/Y/Z axes, they have no direct relation to those axes in the transformed coordinate system. Thus, an independent notion of a, b, c does not suggest such a relation. Furthermore, there are sometimes expressions such as x.x, x.y, y.x etc. They are typically hard to read and error-prone to write. Having a.x, a.y, b.x makes things more understandable.

Fields

The rows of the matrix. These are not the basis vectors.

To access the basis vectors see col_a(), set_col_a(), col_b(), set_col_b(), col_c, set_col_c().
