Diagrams.Core.Points

A type for points (as distinct from vectors).

Points

newtype Point v :: * -> *

Point is a newtype wrapper around vectors used to represent points, so we don't get them mixed up. The distinction between vectors and points is important: translations affect points, but leave vectors unchanged. Points are instances of the AffineSpace class from Data.AffineSpace.

Instances

Functor Point

Eq v => Eq (Point v)

Data v => Data (Point v)

Ord v => Ord (Point v)

Read v => Read (Point v)

Show v => Show (Point v)

AdditiveGroup v => AffineSpace (Point v)

VectorSpace v => HasOrigin (Point v)

HasLinearMap v => Transformable (Point v)

(Ord (Scalar v), VectorSpace v) => Traced (Point v)

The trace of a single point is the empty trace, i.e. the one which returns no intersection points for every query. Arguably it should return a single finite distance for vectors aimed directly at the given point, but due to floating-point inaccuracy this is problematic. Note that the envelope for a single point is not the empty envelope (see Diagrams.Core.Envelope).

(OrderedField (Scalar v), InnerSpace v) => Enveloped (Point v)

Typeable (* -> *) Point

type Diff (Point v) = v

type V (Point v) = v

origin :: AdditiveGroup v => Point v

The origin of the vector space v.

(*.) :: VectorSpace v => Scalar v -> Point v -> Point v

Scale a point by a scalar.
