1025: Vector2DOps Trait - Proposal r=michaelkirk a=thehappycheese - [x] I agree to follow the project's [code of conduct](https://github.com/georust/geo/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). - [x] I added an entry to `CHANGES.md` if knowledge of this change could be valuable to users. --- Proposal to define `Vector2DOps` trait and implement it for the `Coord` struct. Intention is to facilitate general purpose linear algebra operations such as 'dot product' etc all in one place. Most of these functions are are already implemented in various places throughout the crate or sometimes hard-coded in place. This would bring them all together. For example - `wedge_product`( aka cross/perp/exterior product) `geotypes::Line::determinant`, - `geotypes::Point::cross_prod` (which takes three arguments for some reason) etc. - Also used in the default implementation of Kernel orient2d, although this serves a different purpose as it returns an enum - `dot_product` `geotypes::Point::dot`, - `magnitude` in `Line::line_euclidean_length` - `magnitude_squared` hard coded ( [here](https://github.com/thehappycheese/geo/blob/9b477fc7b24fcb8731bd5e01d559b613e79ada0c/geo/src/algorithm/line_locate_point.rs#L61C9-L61C29)) - `normalize` ... interestingly it is hard to find an example of this operation in the existing crate. Possibly because it is generally best avoided due to floating point instability. For more discussion about motivation for this proposal, see [this comment](#935 (comment)) on PR #935 . Possibly the timing of this proposal is weird, I am sure that the `geotraits::CoordTrait` will affect how this should be implemented. I suspect it may allow the `Vector2DOps` to define default implementations? Note: - Currently `Vector2DOps` isn't used anywhere so it will trigger dead code warnings. - For an example that illustrates how I imagine it would be used in the OffsetCurve trait, see [this snippet](https://github.com/thehappycheese/geo/blob/d95420f1f8d6b0d2dd1e6d803fe3d3e2a2b3dd13/geo/src/algorithm/offset_curve/offset_line_raw.rs#L46C1-L51C1) from this PR #935 - Note that PR #935 is a separate, older branch, in that branch I was calling it `VectorExtensions`. In this PR I renamed it to `Vector2DOps` so that it is more similar to the existing `AffineOps` Many thanks for your time and any feedback you can provide Co-authored-by: thehappycheese <[email protected]>

/// | ||
/// ## Examples | ||
/// | ||
/// The following list highlights some examples in geo which might be | ||
/// brought together to use this function: | ||
/// | ||
/// 1. [geo_types::Point::cross_prod()] is already defined on | ||
/// [geo_types::Point]... but that it seems to be some other | ||
/// operation on 3 points?? | ||
/// 2. [geo_types::Line] struct also has a [geo_types::Line::determinant()] | ||
/// function which is the same as `line.start.wedge_product(line.end)` | ||
/// 3. The [crate::algorithm::Kernel::orient2d()] trait default | ||
/// implementation uses cross product to compute orientation. It returns | ||
/// an enum, not the numeric value which is needed for line segment | ||
/// intersection. | ||
/// | ||
/// ## Properties | ||
/// | ||
/// - The absolute value of the cross product is the area of the | ||
/// parallelogram formed by the operands | ||
/// - Anti-commutative: The sign of the output is reversed if the operands | ||
/// are reversed | ||
/// - If the operands are colinear with the origin, the value is zero | ||
/// - The sign can be used to check if the operands are clockwise with | ||
/// respect to the origin, or phrased differently: | ||
/// "is a to the left of the line between the origin and b"? | ||
/// - If this is what you are using it for, then please use | ||
/// [crate::algorithm::Kernel::orient2d()] instead as this is more | ||
/// explicit and has a `RobustKernel` option for extra precision. | ||
