Module cgmath::conv

Constrained conversion functions for assisting in situations where type inference is difficult.

For example, when declaring glium uniforms, we need to convert to fixed length arrays. We can use the Into trait directly, but it is rather ugly!

— Doc-test disabled because glium causes problems with nightly-2019-01-01 needed for “simd” `rust #[macro_use] extern crate glium; extern crate cgmath;

use cgmath::{Matrix4, Point2}; use cgmath::prelude::*;

fn main() {

let point = Point2::new(1, 2); let matrix = Matrix4::from_scale(2.0);

let uniforms = uniform! { point: Into::<[; 2]>::into(point), matrix: Into::<[[; 4]; 4]>::into(matrix), // Yuck!! (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ };

}

`

Instead, we can use the conversion functions from the conv module:

— Doc-test disabled because glium causes problems nightly-2019-01-01 needed for “simd” `rust #[macro_use] extern crate glium; extern crate cgmath;

use cgmath::{Matrix4, Point2}; use cgmath::prelude::; use cgmath::conv::;

fn main() {

let point = Point2::new(1, 2); let matrix = Matrix4::from_scale(2.0);

let uniforms = uniform! { point: array2(point), matrix: array4x4(matrix), // ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) };

}

`
