Invert (SIMatrix4)

Description

Inverts the matrix m and stores the result in this matrix: this = m^-1

Scripting Syntax

    SIMatrix4.Invert( m )

C# Syntax

    Int32 SIMatrix4.Invert( SIMatrix4 in_pMatrix );

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
m | SIMatrix4 | Matrix operand

Return Value

Boolean True if the matrix m has been inverted (m is not singular); otherwise False.

Examples

VBScript Example

    '
    ' This example demonstrates how to set up a 4x4 matrix,
    ' invert it and then trap whether the inversion was
    ' successful
    '

    ' Create 4x4 matrices
    dim m1 : set m1 = XSIMath.CreateMatrix4(_
       2.0, 3.0, 0.0, 0.0, _
       1.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, _
       0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, _
       0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
    dim m2 : set m2 = XSIMath.CreateMatrix4

    ' Make the second matrix the inversion of the first
    if m2.Invert(m1) then
       Application.LogMessage "Success :-D"
    else
       Application.LogMessage "Failure :-("
    end if

    ' Expected result:
    ' INFO : Success :-D
