rt_unit - unitize a vector[view code]

Calling Sequence

vn = rt_unit(v)

Parameters

• v : p-element vector (p is arbitrary). A generic p-dimensional vector.
• vn : p-element vector. The unit vector aligned with v.

Description

Return a unit vector aligned with v.

Examples

   // A generic vector in 3D space
   v = [2, 4, 5],
   norm(v),                         // v is a non-unit vector

   // unit vector aligned with v
   vn = rt_unit(v),                 // vn is a unit vector
   norm(vn),
