Request for a quick Vector.Normalized property

Posted Wednesday, 26 January, 2011 - 02:07 by Andos in

Very often I just need a normalized version of my vector that I know isn't zero-length.
Before I migrated to OpenTK I was using a LinearMath library that had a nifty little .Normalized property that simply just returned a copy of the vector but normalized.
Otherwise I manually have to create a copy, normalize it and use it. It takes two more lines and clutters the code.

For OpenTK you could add .Normalized and .NormalizedFast

What do you think? It is very quick and easy to add.

You can always use static methods:

Vector4 v = new Vector4(x,y,z,w);
Vector4 v1 =  Vector4.Normalize(v);
Vector4 v2 =  Vector4.NormalizeFast(v);

Didn't notice those :)
Thanks.
