XMBYTEN2::XMBYTEN2(float,float) function (directxpackedvector.h)

Initializes a new instance of XMBYTEN2 from two float arguments.

This constructor initializes a new instance of XMBYTEN2 from two float arguments.

Note  This constructor is only available with C++.

 

Syntax

void XMBYTEN2(
  float _x,
  float _y
) noexcept;

Parameters

_x

A normalized value for the x-coordinate of the vector.

This argument should be between -1.0 and 1.0. During the instantiation of an instance of XMBYTEN2, it is multiplied by 127.0f, and then stored as the x member of the structure.

_y

A normalized value for the y-coordinate of the vector, the y of the new instance of XMBYTEN2.

This argument should be between -1.0 and 1.0. During the instantiation of an instance of XMBYTEN2, it is multiplied by 127.0f, and then stored as the y member of the structure.

Return value

None

Remarks

The magnitude of each argument to the constructor will be clamped to the range supported by an 8-bit signed integer [-127.0, 127.0].

The following pseudocode demonstrates the operation of this constructor, which takes advantage of the union of the four components of the XMBYTEN2 vector with an instance of uint32_t in the definition of the structure:

      XMBYTEN2 instance;
      _x1=min( max( _x, -1.0 ), 1.0 );
      _y1=min( max( _y, -1.0 ), 1.0 );
      _x1 = round( _x1 *  127.0f);
      _y1 = round( _y1 *  127.0f);
      instance.x = (int8_t)_x1;
      instance.y = (int8_t)_y1;
