Vector operations

Polylib contains tools for manipulating vector data structures. These functions are in the file vector.c.

These functions allows the following operations:

• allocating or deleting vectors,
• setting a value in each position of a vector,
• reading or printing vectors,
• sorting values of a vector. This is done in Polylib in the Vector_Sort function using the heap sort algorithm. Other sort operations exists, such as in function AffinePartSort which perform sorting operation on a list of lattices using the Quick Sort algorithm.
• unary operations on vectors. Finding the minimum, maximum or greatest common divisor for a vector. Based on the GCD of a vector other unary operations are available like Vector_Normalize or Vector_Normalize_Positive.
• logical operations on vectors components, algebrical computations between vectors and vector-matrix movements.
