QVM

A generic C++ library for working with Quaternions, Vectors and Matrices.

Documentation

https://boostorg.github.io/qvm/

Features

• Emphasis on 2, 3 and 4-dimensional operations needed in graphics, video games and simulation applications.
• Free function templates operate on any compatible user-defined Quaternion, Vector or Matrix type.
• Enables Quaternion, Vector and Matrix types from different libraries to be safely mixed in the same expression.
• Type-safe mapping between compatible lvalue types with no temporary objects; f.ex. transpose remaps the access to the elements, rather than transforming the matrix.
• Requires only {CPP}03.
• Zero dependencies.

Support

• cpplang on Slack (use the #boost channel)
• Boost Users Mailing List
• Boost Developers Mailing List

Distribution

Besides GitHub, there are two other distribution channels:

• QVM is included in official Boost releases.
• For maximum portability, the library is also available in single-header format, in two variants (direct download links):
  • qvm.hpp: single header containing the complete QVM source, including the complete set of swizzling overloads.
  • qvm_lite.hpp: single header containing everything except for the swizzling overloads.
