### <a name="section1_1"></a> 1.1. Setup ### <a name="section1_1"></a> 1.1. Using global headers
GLM is a header-only library, and thus does not need to be compiled. We can use GLM's implementation of GLSL's mathematics functionality by including the `<glm/glm.hpp>` header. The library can also be installed with CMake, though the details of doing so will differ depending on the target build system. GLM is a header-only library, and thus does not need to be compiled. We can use GLM's implementation of GLSL's mathematics functionality by including the `<glm/glm.hpp>` header:
Features can also be included individually to shorten compilation times.
```cpp ```cpp
#include <glm/vec2.hpp> // vec2, bvec2, dvec2, ivec2 and uvec2 #include <glm/glm.hpp>
#include <glm/vec3.hpp> // vec3, bvec3, dvec3, ivec3 and uvec3
#include <glm/vec4.hpp> // vec4, bvec4, dvec4, ivec4 and uvec4
#include <glm/mat2x2.hpp> // mat2, dmat2
#include <glm/mat2x3.hpp> // mat2x3, dmat2x3
#include <glm/mat2x4.hpp> // mat2x4, dmat2x4
#include <glm/mat3x2.hpp> // mat3x2, dmat3x2
#include <glm/mat3x3.hpp> // mat3, dmat3
#include <glm/mat3x4.hpp> // mat3x4, dmat2
#include <glm/mat4x2.hpp> // mat4x2, dmat4x2
#include <glm/mat4x3.hpp> // mat4x3, dmat4x3
#include <glm/mat4x4.hpp> // mat4, dmat4
#include <glm/common.hpp> // all the GLSL common functions
#include <glm/exponential.hpp> // all the GLSL exponential functions
#include <glm/geometry.hpp> // all the GLSL geometry functions
#include <glm/integer.hpp> // all the GLSL integer functions
#include <glm/matrix.hpp> // all the GLSL matrix functions
#include <glm/packing.hpp> // all the GLSL packing functions
#include <glm/trigonometric.hpp> // all the GLSL trigonometric functions
#include <glm/vector_relational.hpp> // all the GLSL vector relational functions
``` ```
### <a name="section1_2"></a> 1.2. Faster compilation
GLM uses C++ templates heavily, and may significantly increase compilation times for projects that use it. Hence, source files should only include the headers they actually use. Using GLM through headers including everything:
```cpp
// Include all GLM core / GLSL features
#include <glm/glm.hpp> // vec2, vec3, mat4, radians
To reduce compilation time, we can include `<glm/fwd.hpp>`, which forward-declares all types should their definitions not be needed. // Include all GLM extensions
#include <glm/ext.hpp> // perspective, translate, rotate
glm::mat4 transform(glm::vec2 const& Orientation, glm::vec3 const& Translate, glm::vec3 const& Up)
{
glm::mat4 Proj = glm::perspective(glm::radians(45.f), 1.33f, 0.1f, 10.f);
glm::mat4 ViewTranslate = glm::translate(glm::mat4(1.f), Translate);
glm::mat4 ViewRotateX = glm::rotate(ViewTranslate, Orientation.y, Up);
glm::mat4 View = glm::rotate(ViewRotateX, Orientation.x, Up);
glm::mat4 Model = glm::mat4(1.0f);
return Proj * View * Model;
}
```
### <a name="section1_2"></a> 1.2. Using separated headers
GLM relies on C++ templates heavily, and may significantly increase compilation times for projects that use it. Hence, user projects could only include the features they actually use:
```cpp ```cpp
// Header file (forward declarations only) #include <glm/vec2.hpp> // vec2, bvec2, dvec2, ivec2 and uvec2
#include <glm/fwd.hpp> #include <glm/vec3.hpp> // vec3, bvec3, dvec3, ivec3 and uvec3
#include <glm/vec4.hpp> // vec4, bvec4, dvec4, ivec4 and uvec4
// At this point, we don't care what exactly makes up a vec2; that won't matter #include <glm/mat2x2.hpp> // mat2, dmat2
// until we write this function's implementation. #include <glm/mat2x3.hpp> // mat2x3, dmat2x3
glm::vec2 functionDeclaration(const glm::vec2& input); #include <glm/mat2x4.hpp> // mat2x4, dmat2x4
#include <glm/mat3x2.hpp> // mat3x2, dmat3x2
#include <glm/mat3x3.hpp> // mat3, dmat3
#include <glm/mat3x4.hpp> // mat3x4, dmat2
#include <glm/mat4x2.hpp> // mat4x2, dmat4x2
#include <glm/mat4x3.hpp> // mat4x3, dmat4x3
#include <glm/mat4x4.hpp> // mat4, dmat4
#include <glm/common.hpp> // all the GLSL common functions: abs, min, mix, isnan, fma, etc.
#include <glm/exponential.hpp> // all the GLSL exponential functions: pow, log, exp2, sqrt, etc.
#include <glm/geometry.hpp> // all the GLSL geometry functions: dot, cross, reflect, etc.
#include <glm/integer.hpp> // all the GLSL integer functions: findMSB, bitfieldExtract, etc.
#include <glm/matrix.hpp> // all the GLSL matrix functions: transpose, inverse, etc.
#include <glm/packing.hpp> // all the GLSL packing functions: packUnorm4x8, unpackHalf2x16, etc.
#include <glm/trigonometric.hpp> // all the GLSL trigonometric functions: radians, cos, asin, etc.
#include <glm/vector_relational.hpp> // all the GLSL vector relational functions: equal, less, etc.
``` ```
Precompiled headers will also be helpful, though are not covered by this manual. Using GLM through headers including features separated following the structure of GLSL specifications:
### <a name="section1_3"></a> 1.3. Example usage
```cpp ```cpp
// Include GLM core features // Include GLM core features
#include <glm/vec3.hpp> #include <glm/vec2.hpp> // vec2
#include <glm/vec4.hpp> #include <glm/vec3.hpp> // vec3
#include <glm/mat4x4.hpp> #include <glm/mat4x4.hpp> // mat4
#include <glm/trigonometric.hpp> #include <glm/trigonometric.hpp> //radians
// Include GLM extensions // Include GLM extensions
#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp> #include <glm/ext/matrix_transform.hpp> // perspective, translate, rotate
glm::mat4 transform(glm::vec2 const& Orientation, glm::vec3 const& Translate, glm::vec3 const& Up)
{
glm::mat4 Proj = glm::perspective(glm::radians(45.f), 1.33f, 0.1f, 10.f);
glm::mat4 ViewTranslate = glm::translate(glm::mat4(1.f), Translate);
glm::mat4 ViewRotateX = glm::rotate(ViewTranslate, Orientation.y, Up);
glm::mat4 View = glm::rotate(ViewRotateX, Orientation.x, Up);
glm::mat4 Model = glm::mat4(1.0f);
return Proj * View * Model;
}
```
### <a name="section1_3"></a> 1.3. Using extension headers
Using GLM through split headers to minimize the project build time:
```cpp
// Include GLM extensions
#include <glm/ext/vector_float2.hpp> // vec2
#include <glm/ext/vector_float3.hpp> // vec3
#include <glm/ext/matrix_float4x4.hpp> // mat4
#include <glm/ext/matrix_transform.hpp> // perspective, translate, rotate
#include <glm/trigonometric.hpp> // radians
glm::mat4 transform(glm::vec2 const& Orientation, glm::vec3 const& Translate, glm::vec3 const& Up) glm::mat4 transform(glm::vec2 const& Orientation, glm::vec3 const& Translate, glm::vec3 const& Up)
{ {
