Description | Adds x, y, and z components to a vector, adds one vector to another, or adds two independent vectors together. The version of the method that adds two vectors together is a static method and returns a PVector, the others have no return value -- they act directly on the vector. See the examples for more context.
Syntax |
    vec.add(x, y, z)
    vec.add(v)
    PVector.add(v1, v2)
Parameters |
vec | any variable of type PVector
x | float: the x component of the vector
y | float: the y component of the vector
z | float: the z component of the vector
v | PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object
v1 | PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object
v2 | PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object
vec | any variable of type PVector
Returns | None or PVector
Usage | Web & Application
