Detailed Description

GU/Matrix subsystem.

The GU/Matrix subsystem is used for many matrix- , vector- and quaternion-related operations.

The matrix functions are coupled tightly with GX (GX will take Mtx for many of its own matrix-related functions, for example). This library supports 3x3, 3x4, 4x3 and 4x4 matrices.

This library has functions for manipulating vectors as well; some of its functions are for transforming matrices using vectors.

It also includes functions for using and converting between quaternions. Although quaternions are not used natively in libogc, they work well with rotation functions as they aren't susceptible to "gimbal lock". You can use the appropriate functions to freely convert between quaternions and matrices.

Note

Many of the functions come in two flavors: C and "paired single". Both perform the same exact operations, but with a key difference: the C versions are written in pure C and are slightly more accurate, while the PS versions are hand-written assembly routines utilizing the Gekko's "paired-single" extension, which is much faster for almost every operation but slightly less accurate. When building for the GameCube or Wii (which is probably always), the library is configured to automatically use the paired-single tuned versions, as the speed difference is worth the accuracy hit. If you want to use the C routine and take the performance hit instead, prefix the function with "c_". You are not limited to using only one or the other collection; you can use both in your code if you wish.

Warning

Some functions (notably guFrustum() and related) take a 4x4 matrix, while the rest work only on 4x3 matrices. Make sure you are passing the correct matrix type to each function, as passing the wrong one can create subtle bugs.

Macro Definition Documentation

guMtxRowCol

#define guMtxRowCol	(		mt,
			row,
			col
	)		(mt[row][col])

Provides storage-safe access to elements of Mtx and Mtx44.

This macro provides storage-safe access to elements of Mtx and Mtx44. Matrix storage format is transparent to the programmer as long as matrices are initialized and manipulated exclusively with the matrix API. Do not initialize matrices when they are first declared and do not set values by hand. To insulate code from changes to matrix storage format, you should use this macro instead of directly accessing individual matrix elements.

Note

When using this function, think of the matrix in row-major format.

Parameters

[in]	mt	Matrix to be accessed.
[in]	r	Row index of element to access.
[in]	c	Column index of element to access.

Returns

none

Typedef Documentation

Mtx

f32 Mtx[3][4]

Standard 3x4 matrix.

Warning

Some functions take the 4x4 matrix type rather than this one, so make sure you don't mix up the two.

Mtx44

f32 Mtx44[4][4]

4x4 matrix.

Warning

Some functions take this instead of the 3x4 matrix, so make sure you don't mix up the two.

ROMtx

f32 ROMtx[4][3]

Column-major representation of the standard Mtx structure.

It is not a true transpose, as it is a 4x3 matrix. These structures are only accepted by functions that explicitly require reordered matrices.

Function Documentation

guFrustum()

void guFrustum	(	Mtx44	mt,
		f32	t,
		f32	b,
		f32	l,
		f32	r,
		f32	n,
		f32	f
	)

Sets a 4x4 perspective projection matrix from viewing volume dimensions.

This matrix is used by the GX API to transform points to screen space.

For normal perspective projection, the axis of projection is the -z axis, so t = positive, b = -t, r = positive, l = -r. n and f must both be given as positive distances.

Note

m negates a point's 'z' values, so pre-transformed points should have negative 'z' values in eye space in order to be visible after projection.

Parameters

[out]	mt	New projection matrix.
[in]	t	Top edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	b	Bottom edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	l	Left edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	r	Right edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	n	Positive distance to the near clipping plane.
[in]	f	Positive distance to the far clipping plane.

Returns

none

guLightFrustum()

void guLightFrustum	(	Mtx	mt,
		f32	t,
		f32	b,
		f32	l,
		f32	r,
		f32	n,
		f32	scaleS,
		f32	scaleT,
		f32	transS,
		f32	transT
	)

Sets a 3x4 perspective projection matrix from viewing volume dimensions, two scale values, and two translation values.

This matrix is used to project points into texture space and yield texture coordinates.

For normal perspective projection, the axis of projection is the -z axis, so t = positive, b = -t, r = positive, l = -r. n must be given as a positive distance.

Standard projection yields values ranging from -1.0 to 1.0 in both dimensions of the front clipping plane. Since texture coordinates usually should be within the range of 0.0 to 1.0, we have added a scale and translation value for both S and T. The most common usage of these values is to set all of them to 0.5 so that points in the range of -1.0 to 1.0 are first scaled by 0.5 to be in the range of -0.5 to 0.5, and are then translated by 0.5 to be in the range of 0.0 to 1.0. Other values can be used for translation and scale to yield different effects.

Parameters

[out]	mt	New projection matrix.
[in]	t	Top edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	b	Bottom edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	l	Left edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	r	Right edge of view volume at the near clipping plane.
[in]	n	Positive distance to the near clipping plane.
[in]	scaleS	Scale in the S direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	scaleT	Scale in the T direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	transS	Translate in the S direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	transT	Translate in the T direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).

Returns

none

guLightOrtho()

void guLightOrtho	(	Mtx	mt,
		f32	t,
		f32	b,
		f32	l,
		f32	r,
		f32	scaleS,
		f32	scaleT,
		f32	transS,
		f32	transT
	)

Sets a 3x4 matrix for orthographic projection.

Use this matrix to project points into texture space and yield texture coordinates.

For normal parallel projections, the axis of projection is the -z axis, so t = positive, b = -t, r = positive, l = -r.

Standard projection yields values ranging from -1.0 to 1.0 in both dimensions of the front clipping plane. Since texture coordinates should usually be within the range of 0.0 to 1.0, we have added a scale and translation value for both S and T. The most common way to use these values is to set all of them to 0.5 so that points in the range of -1.0 to 1.0 are first scaled by 0.5 (to be in the range of -0.5 to 0.5). Then they are translated by 0.5 to be in the range of 0.0 to 1.0. Other values can be used for translation and scale to yield different effects.

Parameters

[out]	mt	New parallel projection matrix.
[in]	t	Top edge of view volume.
[in]	b	Bottom edge of view volume.
[in]	l	Left edge of view volume.
[in]	r	Right edge of view volume.
[in]	scaleS	Scale in the S direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	scaleT	Scale in the T direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	transS	Translate in the S direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	transT	Translate in the T direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).

Returns

none

guLightPerspective()

void guLightPerspective	(	Mtx	mt,
		f32	fovY,
		f32	aspect,
		f32	scaleS,
		f32	scaleT,
		f32	transS,
		f32	transT
	)

Sets a 3x4 perspective projection matrix from field of view and aspect ratio parameters, two scale values, and two translation values.

This matrix is used to project points into texture space and yield texture coordinates.

This function generates a projection matrix, equivalent to that created by guLightFrustum(), with the axis of projection centered around Z. This function is included to provide an alternative method of specifying texture projection volume dimensions.

The field of view (fovy) is the total field of view in degrees in the YZ plane. aspect is the ratio (width / height) of the view window in screen space.

Standard projection yields values ranging from -1.0 to 1.0 in both dimensions of the front clipping plane. Since texture coordinates should usually be within the range of 0.0 to 1.0, we have added a scale and translation value for both S and T. The most common way to use these values is to set all of them to 0.5 (so that points in the range of -1.0 to 1.0 are first scaled by 0.5) to be in the range of -0.5 to 0.5. Then they are translated by 0.5 to be in the range of 0.0 to 1.0. Other values can be used for translation and scale to yield different effects.

Parameters

[out]	mt	New projection matrix.
[in]	fovy	Total field of view in the YZ plane measured in degrees.
[in]	aspect	View window aspect ratio (width / height)
[in]	scaleS	Scale in the S direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	scaleT	Scale in the T direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	transS	Translate in the S direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).
[in]	transT	Translate in the T direction for projected coordinates (usually 0.5).

Returns

none

guOrtho()

		f32	t,
		f32	b,
		f32	l,
		f32	r,
		f32	n,
		f32	f
	)

Sets a 4x4 matrix for orthographic projection.

This matrix is used by the GX API to transform points from eye space to screen space.

For normal parallel projections, the axis of projection is the -z axis, so t = positive, b = -t, r = positive, l = -r. n and f must both be given as positive distances.

Note

m negates a point's 'z' values, so pre-transformed points should have negative 'z' values in eye space in order to be visible after projection.

Parameters

[in]	t	Top edge of view volume.
[in]	b	Bottom edge of view volume.
[in]	l	Left edge of view volume.
[in]	r	Right edge of view volume.

		f32	n,
		f32	f
	)
