Detailed Description

This class defines a 3-element floating point vector.

This class may be used to represent either a normal, a direction or a point interchangeably without casting. In addition, instances of this class may be freely cast to Color4 and vectors of other sizes.

This class is in standard layout with fields of uniform type. This means that it is safe to reinterpret_cast objects to float arrays.
