glm | Java OpenGL Mathematics (GLM) | Graphics library

glm is a Java library typically used in User Interface, Graphics applications. glm has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has high support. You can download it from GitHub, Maven.

Glm is the java port of the [OpenGL Mathematics (GLM)] a mathematics library for graphics software based on the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) specifications. Glm provides classes and functions designed and implemented with the same naming conventions (within reasonable terms) and functionalities than GLSL so that anyone, who knows GLSL or GLM, can use the java glm as well. This project isn’t limited to GLSL features. An extension system, based on the GLSL extension conventions, provides extended capabilities: matrix transformations, quaternions, data packing, random numbers, noise, etc…​. Since i32vec2 would have been I32vec2 because java requires always first letter capital, it has been decided to move the type part at the right and changing the bit lenght directly with the primitive data type (Vec2i32 would have been confusing), so we simply have Vec2i. |c++|java| |---|---| |bvec*|Vec*bool| |dvec*|Vec*d| |vec*|Vec*| |i8vec*|Vec*b| |i16vec*|Vec*s| |i32vec*|Vec*i| |i64vec*|Vec*l| |u8vec*|Vec*ub| |u16vec*|Vec*us| |u32vec*|Vec*ui| |u64vec*|Vec*ul| |dmat*|Mat*d| |mat*|Mat*|. * means 1, 2, 3 or 4 for c++, but on java only 2, 3 and 4 because we didn’t port any *vec1 for the moment since there is no apparent reason. All functions with any underscore _ at the end involve implicitly an internal instantiation. They are useful for case scenario when you want the most readable and compact code. This means Glm.add_(Vec2 a, float b) does not modify a because it instantiates a new Vec2 internally. On contrary, Glm.add(Vec2 a, float b) saves the result on a, while Glm.add(Vec2 res, Vec2 a, float b) saves the result on res. All of them return the result object (Vec2 in this case) in order to give you the possibility to concatenate multiple operations in cascade. The Glm class contains all the possible calls. However to improve usability, each vec/mat class have in its own some additional functions (they will refer always to the Glm ones though). Therefore, similarly, if we have a Vec2 v and if we want to add 2, we simply call v.add(2). If we want the result to be saved on v, like v+= 2, otherwise Vec2 a = v.add_(2) and we save the result in a. However, binary operations involving a scalar in the first place can, off course, only be called by Glm, so if you want do 1.0f - v, you shall call Glm.sub(1.0f, v). Since java transforms byte and short value to int before doing any operation, we provide the same for classes involving those type, signed or unsigned.
