# nalgebra

**nalgebra** is a linear algebra library written for Rust targeting:

* General-purpose linear algebra (still lacks a lot of features…)
* Real-time computer graphics.
* Real-time computer physics.

## Using **nalgebra**
You will need the last stable build of the [rust compiler](https://www.rust-lang.org)
and the official package manager: [cargo](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo).

Simply add the following to your `Cargo.toml` file:

```ignore
[dependencies]
// TODO: replace the * by the latest version.
nalgebra = "*"
```


Most useful functionalities of **nalgebra** are grouped in the root module `nalgebra::`.

However, the recommended way to use **nalgebra** is to import types and traits
explicitly, and call free-functions using the `na::` prefix:

```
#[macro_use]
extern crate approx; // For the macro assert_relative_eq!
extern crate nalgebra as na;
use na::{Vector3, Rotation3};

fn main() {
    let axis  = Vector3::x_axis();
    let angle = 1.57;
    let b     = Rotation3::from_axis_angle(&axis, angle);

    assert_relative_eq!(b.axis().unwrap(), axis);
    assert_relative_eq!(b.angle(), angle);
}
```


## Features
**nalgebra** is meant to be a general-purpose, low-dimensional, linear algebra library, with
an optimized set of tools for computer graphics and physics. Those features include:

* A single parametrizable type [`Matrix`](Matrix) for vectors, (square or rectangular) matrices, and
  slices with dimensions known either at compile-time (using type-level integers) or at runtime.
* Matrices and vectors with compile-time sizes are statically allocated while dynamic ones are
  allocated on the heap.
* Convenient aliases for low-dimensional matrices and vectors: [`Vector1`](Vector1) to
  [`Vector6`](Vector6) and [`Matrix1x1`](Matrix1) to [`Matrix6x6`](Matrix6), including rectangular
  matrices like [`Matrix2x5`](Matrix2x5).
* Points sizes known at compile time, and convenience aliases: [`Point1`](Point1) to
  [`Point6`](Point6).
* Translation (seen as a transformation that composes by multiplication):
  [`Translation2`](Translation2), [`Translation3`](Translation3).
* Rotation matrices: [`Rotation2`](Rotation2), [`Rotation3`](Rotation3).
* Quaternions: [`Quaternion`](Quaternion), [`UnitQuaternion`](UnitQuaternion) (for 3D rotation).
* Unit complex numbers can be used for 2D rotation: [`UnitComplex`](UnitComplex).
* Algebraic entities with a norm equal to one: [`Unit<T>`](Unit), e.g., `Unit<Vector3<f32>>`.
* Isometries (translation ⨯ rotation): [`Isometry2`](Isometry2), [`Isometry3`](Isometry3)
* Similarity transformations (translation ⨯ rotation ⨯ uniform scale):
  [`Similarity2`](Similarity2), [`Similarity3`](Similarity3).
* Affine transformations stored as a homogeneous matrix:
  [`Affine2`](Affine2), [`Affine3`](Affine3).
* Projective (i.e. invertible) transformations stored as a homogeneous matrix:
  [`Projective2`](Projective2), [`Projective3`](Projective3).
* General transformations that does not have to be invertible, stored as a homogeneous matrix:
  [`Transform2`](Transform2), [`Transform3`](Transform3).
* 3D projections for computer graphics: [`Perspective3`](Perspective3),
  [`Orthographic3`](Orthographic3).
* Matrix factorizations: [`Cholesky`](Cholesky), [`QR`](QR), [`LU`](LU), [`FullPivLU`](FullPivLU),
  [`SVD`](SVD), [`Schur`](Schur), [`Hessenberg`](Hessenberg), [`SymmetricEigen`](SymmetricEigen).
* Insertion and removal of rows of columns of a matrix.
