# QVM
|
|
|
|
> A generic C++ library for working with `Q`uaternions, `V`ectors and `M`atrices.
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://Cpplang.slack.com) (use the `#boost` channel)
|
|
* [Boost Users Mailing List](https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users)
|
|
* [Boost Developers Mailing List](https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost)
|
|
|
|
## Distribution
|
|
|
|
Besides GitHub, there are two other distribution channels:
|
|
|
|
* QVM is included in official [Boost](https://www.boost.org/) releases.
|
|
* For maximum portability, the library is also available in single-header format, in two variants (direct download links):
|
|
* [qvm.hpp](https://boostorg.github.io/qvm/qvm.hpp): single header containing the complete QVM source, including the complete set of swizzling overloads.
|
|
* [qvm_lite.hpp](https://boostorg.github.io/qvm/qvm_lite.hpp): single header containing everything except for the swizzling overloads.
