textmode.js / TextmodeVector

Class: TextmodeVector

Mutable two- or three-dimensional vector for creative-coding math.

TextmodeVector stores public x, y, and z components and uses chainable mutating methods for common motion, steering, and force operations.

Use Textmodifier.createVector to create vectors inside a sketch.
