SbVec4us(3)

💖 NAME 💖

SbVec4us — it's a four-slot vector of unsigned short, bestie. Yes, that's the whole vibe. Four little unsigned shorts holding hands. 🫶

This is the manual page for SbVec4us(3), straight out of Coin, and we're gonna go through every single crumb of it. No skips. Periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Inventor/SbVec4us.h>

That's the door you gotta walk through, no cap. 🚪✨

🎀 Public Member Functions 🎀

Constructors first, because we love a good origin story:

• SbVec4us (const unsigned short v[4]) — builds one of these cuties by stealing all four values out of an array of unsigned short. Iconic.
• SbVec4us (unsigned short x, unsigned short y, unsigned short z, unsigned short w) — the four-values-in-a-row special. Hand it x, y, z, w and boom, you got a vector. 💅
• SbVec4us (const SbVec4s &v) — converts in from an SbVec4s, like a little glow-up transformation. 🦋
• SbVec4us (const SbVec4ub &v) — same energy, but converting in from an SbVec4ub.
• SbVec4us (const SbVec4ui32 &v) — and again, this time converting from an SbVec4ui32.

Now the setters, i.e. the "actually, let me change my whole personality" squad:

• SbVec4us & setValue (const unsigned short v[4]) — overwrites all four from an array of unsigned short, and hands you back a reference to itself. Chainable, main character energy.
• SbVec4us & setValue (unsigned short x, unsigned short y, unsigned short z, unsigned short w) — same deal but you spell out all four numbers yourself.
• SbVec4us & setValue (const SbVec4s &v) — sets from an SbVec4s. Returns *this fr fr.
• SbVec4us & setValue (const SbVec4ub &v) — sets from an SbVec4ub, same return-situation.
• SbVec4us & setValue (const SbVec4ui32 &v) — sets from an SbVec4ui32. Consistent queen. 👑

Getters, for when you need the tea:

• const unsigned short * getValue (void) const — gives you a pointer to the unsigned short values. Read-only vibes, const and all.
• void getValue (unsigned short &x, unsigned short &y, unsigned short &z, unsigned short &w) const — the "fill in my variables for me" version. You pass refs, it writes into them. Returns nothing because it already gave you everything. 😌

Indexing, because we're fancy:

• unsigned short & operator[] (int i) — grabs you a reference to slot i, so you can also write into it. Powerful.
• const unsigned short & operator[] (int i) const — the const twin: a const reference to slot i when your object is const.

Math, aka the slay section:

• int32_t dot (const SbVec4us &v) const — the dot product with another SbVec4us, and it comes back as an int32_t. 💫
• void negate (void) — flips the whole thing negative, in place, returns nothing. It just does it. 💀
• SbVec4us & operator*= (int d) — multiply every component by an int, in place, and get yourself back.
• SbVec4us & operator*= (double d) — same but with a double.
• SbVec4us & operator/= (int d) — divide every component by an int, in place. Returns *this.
• SbVec4us & operator/= (double d) — divide by a double, in place. Still returns *this.
• SbVec4us & operator+= (const SbVec4us &v) — add another SbVec4us component-wise, in place, return *this.
• SbVec4us & operator-= (const SbVec4us &v) — subtract another SbVec4us component-wise, in place, return *this.
• SbVec4us operator- (void) const — the unary minus, and note: this one returns a brand new SbVec4us, it does not mutate you. Different from negate(). Don't get it twisted. ⭐

🔒 Protected Attributes 🔒

• unsigned short vec [4] — the actual four unsigned shorts living inside. Protected, so hands off unless you're a subclass. 🙈

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

Not a ton to say, honestly, because the whole page is basically "four unsigned shorts, here are the ways to poke them."

• Since — Coin 2.5. Old enough to have lore. 👑

Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code. So like, not a human author, a robot author. It ate and left no crumbs. 🤖💅

Okay bestie that's the whole page — every constructor, every setValue, every getter, every operator, the protected vec [4], the Coin 2.5 since-note, all of it. Nothing skipped, we keep it thorough around here. 🎀

This was version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 — so go forth, build your four-short vectors, and stay slay. 💖✨🫶
