deferred class Vector from Geom2d inherits Geometry from Geom2d

        --- Purpose :  The abstract class Vector describes the common
    	-- behavior of vectors in 2D space.
    	-- The Geom2d package provides two concrete
    	-- classes of vectors: Geom2d_Direction (unit vector)
    	-- and Geom2d_VectorWithMagnitude.

uses Ax2d  from gp, 
     Pnt2d from gp,
     Vec2d from gp

raises DomainError             from Standard,
       VectorWithNullMagnitude from gp

is


  Reverse (me : mutable);
        --- Purpose : Reverses the vector <me>.


  Reversed (me) returns mutable like me
        --- Purpose : Returns a copy of <me> reversed.
     is static;


  Angle (me; Other : Vector)   returns Real
        --- Purpose : Computes the angular value, in radians, between this
    	-- vector and vector Other. The result is a value
    	-- between -Pi and Pi. The orientation is from this
    	-- vector to vector Other.
    	--    Raises VectorWithNullMagnitude if one of the two vectors is a vector with
        --  null magnitude because the angular value is indefinite.
        raises VectorWithNullMagnitude;
       
  Coord (me; X, Y : out Real);
        --- Purpose : Returns the coordinates of <me>.


  Magnitude (me)  returns Real
        --- Purpose : Returns the  Magnitude of <me>.
     is deferred;


  SquareMagnitude (me)  returns Real
        --- Purpose : Returns the square magnitude of <me>.
     is deferred;

  
  X (me)  returns Real;
        --- Purpose : Returns the X coordinate of <me>.


  Y (me)  returns Real;
        --- Purpose : Returns the Y coordinate of <me>.


  Crossed (me; Other : Vector)   returns Real
        --- Purpose : Cross product of <me> with the vector <Other>.
     is deferred;


  Dot (me; Other : Vector)  returns Real;
        --- Purpose : Returns the scalar product of 2 Vectors.


  Vec2d (me)  returns Vec2d;
        --- Purpose : Returns a non persistent copy of <me>.
