Vector product

Description

Computes the vector (cross) product of two three-dimensional vectors. The inputs may be individual vectors or matrices whose rows represent vectors.

Usage

vectorproduct(x, y, normalize = FALSE)

Arguments

x, y	Numeric vectors of length three or matrices with three columns. If a matrix is supplied, each row is interpreted as a vector.
normalize	Logical flag indicating whether the resulting vector(s) should be normalized to unit length.

Value

Returns either a 3-element vector or an n\times3 matrix containing the row-wise vector products.
