Vector3.Cross(Vector3,Vector3) Method (Microsoft.DirectX)

  • Article

Determines the cross product of two 3-D vectors.

Definition

Visual Basic Public Shared Function Cross( _
    ByVal left As Vector3, _
    ByVal right As Vector3 _
) As Vector3
C# public static Vector3 Cross(
    Vector3 left,
    Vector3 right
);
C++ public:
static Vector3 Cross(
    Vector3 left,
    Vector3 right
);
JScript public static function Cross(
    left : Vector3,
    right : Vector3
) : Vector3;

Parameters

left Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3
Source Vector3 structure.
right Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3
Source Vector3 structure.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3
A Vector3 structure that is the cross product of two 3-D vectors.

Remarks

The following C# example demonstrates how the Cross method finds the cross-product.

[C#]Vector3 returnValue;
    returnValue.x = left.y * right.z - left.z * right.y;
    returnValue.y = left.z * right.x - left.x * right.z;
    returnValue.z = left.x * right.y - left.y * right.x;
