List of Vectors

[Anonymous]

I want to create a list of an unknown quantity of (preferably) 2D Vectors (but 3D works as well)

Something along the lines below:

Dim MyList As New List (Of Vector)
MyList.Add(1, 2)
MyList.Add(3, 7)
MyList.Add(5, 10)
Logger.Info(MyList(1).X)

 But this throws an error on Line 1, saying "Type 'Vector' is not defined."

Hi! Could you try "Vector2" instead?

Many thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

This was very non-intuitive compared to the other language's APIs, but I think I figured out how to use vectors in iLogic. This code below worked for me. It appears that "Vector" in iLogic is "DocumentUnitsVector"? Below is a link to the iLogic API documentation, for 2019 at least. Hope this helps!

Dim MyList As New List (Of DocumentUnitsVector)
MyList.Add(ThisDoc.Geometry.Vector(1, 2, 3))
MyList.Add(ThisDoc.Geometry.Vector(4, 5, 6))
MyList.Add(ThisDoc.Geometry.Vector(7, 8, 9))
MessageBox.Show(MyList(1).X)
