GLM_FUNC_DECL genTypeT glm::mix | ( | genTypeT | x,

If genTypeU is a floating scalar or vector: Returns x * (1.0 - a) + y * a, i.e., the linear blend of x and y using the floating-point value a.

The value for a is not restricted to the range [0, 1].

If genTypeU is a boolean scalar or vector: Selects which vector each returned component comes from. For a component of 'a' that is false, the corresponding component of 'x' is returned. For a component of 'a' that is true, the corresponding component of 'y' is returned. Components of 'x' and 'y' that are not selected are allowed to be invalid floating point values and will have no effect on the results. Thus, this provides different functionality than genType mix(genType x, genType y, genType(a)) where a is a Boolean vector.

Returns 0.0 if x < edge, otherwise it returns 1.0.

Template Parameters

  L | Integer between 1 and 4 included that qualify the dimension of the vector
  T | Floating-point scalar types
  Q | Value from qualifier enum

GLM_FUNC_DECL vec<L, T, Q> glm::trunc | ( | vec< L, T, Q > const & | x | ) |

Returns a value equal to the nearest integer to x whose absolute value is not larger than the absolute value of x.

Template Parameters

  L | Integer between 1 and 4 included that qualify the dimension of the vector
  T | Floating-point scalar types
  Q | Value from qualifier enum

GLM_FUNC_DECL float glm::uintBitsToFloat | ( | uint const & | v | ) |

Returns a floating-point value corresponding to a unsigned integer encoding of a floating-point value.

If an inf or NaN is passed in, it will not signal, and the resulting floating point value is unspecified. Otherwise, the bit-level representation is preserved.
