normalize_vectors: Normalize vectors to have length 1

In mathiasisaksen/artKIT: Useful functions for creating visual/generative art

Description

Takes in one or more vectors and normalizes their lengths to 1.

Usage

normalize_vectors(vectors)

Arguments

vectors

A n x d matrix or data frame that contains one vector per row, and one column per dimension.

Value

The return value is of the same type as vectors, and contains the normalized vectors.

Examples

set.seed(123)
# Generate random 2D vectors
vectors = matrix(runif(200, -1, 1), ncol = 2)
# The lengths are varied
summary(sqrt(rowSums(vectors^2)))
# Normalize vectors
normalized.vectors = normalize_vectors(vectors)
# The lengths are all equal to 1
summary(sqrt(rowSums(normalized.vectors^2)))
