Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function TransformNormal ( _
    source As Vector3, _
    sourceMatrix As Matrix _
) As Vector3
'Usage
Dim source As Vector3
Dim sourceMatrix As Matrix
Dim returnValue As Vector3

returnValue = Vector3.TransformNormal(source, _
    sourceMatrix)

public static Vector3 TransformNormal(
    Vector3 source,
    Matrix sourceMatrix
)

public:
static Vector3 TransformNormal(
    Vector3 source, 
    Matrix sourceMatrix
)

static member TransformNormal : 
        source:Vector3 * 
        sourceMatrix:Matrix -> Vector3

Parameters

source
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Vector3
Source Vector3 structure.

sourceMatrix
Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Matrix
Source Matrix structure.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Vector3
A Vector3 structure that contains the results of this method.

Remarks

If you transform a normal vector by using a non-affine matrix, the matrix you pass to this method should be the transpose of the inverse of the matrix you would use to transform a coordinate.
