YS-Class Library

Overview

YS-Class library is a class library used in many programs available from YSFLIGHT.COM including YS Flight Simulator.  The main features of the class library is as follows.

  • Geometric computation
    • 2D and 3D Vector classes with basic operators
    • 3x3, 4x4, and arbitrary-size matrices
    • Inside/Outside check of 2D and 3D polygons
    • Tessellation of a 2D/3D polygon
    • Polygonal shell class and boolean operations.
    • etc.
  • Template classes and functions
    • Sorting
    • List
    • Array
    • etc.

The library is a collections of functions and classes that I have developed and have been using since I was an undergrad.  (Some of the functions have been imported and improved from Blue Impulse 3D Graphics SDK.)  It has been used in various research projects and product developments.  I can say it is pretty reliable.

Where to begin?

Short examples are also included in the package.  I suppose those samples are good place to start.  The package also includes a reference manual, but I need to admit that the manual is not up to date.
