Detailed Description

Function parameters specified as angle are assumed to be in units of radians.

In no case will any of these functions result in a divide by zero error. If the divisor of a ratio is 0, then results will be undefined.

These all operate component-wise. The description is per component.

genType glm::acos

(

genType const &

x

)

Arc cosine.

Returns an angle whose sine is x. The range of values returned by this function is [0, PI]. Results are undefined if |x| > 1.

Template Parameters:

genType

Floating-point scalar or vector types.

- GLSL 4.20.8 specification, section 8.1

genType glm::acosh

(

genType const &

x

)

Arc hyperbolic cosine; returns the non-negative inverse of cosh.

Results are undefined if x < 1.

Template Parameters:

genType

Floating-point scalar or vector types.

- GLSL acosh man page

- GLSL 4.20.8 specification, section 8.1

genType glm::asin

(

genType const &

x

)

Arc sine.

Returns an angle whose sine is x. The range of values returned by this function is [-PI/2, PI/2]. Results are undefined if |x| > 1.

Template Parameters:

genType

Floating-point scalar or vector types.
