    Math: how move a line in same direction?

    heres a line:

    Origin:
    X0 = 0
    Y0 = 0
    Z0 = 0

    Destination:
    X1 = 100
    Y1 = 0
    Z1 = 500

    using the same direction, how can i move a line using Math?

    Re: Math: how move a line in same direction?

    Victor i don't get notifications... can you see it please? is maybe because i'm login even not be here?
    i use the Hotmail mail.

    or i din't get the Translation or something is wrong
    what i mean is that i only need move the line in same direction, like just i line dot.
    i found 1 way(always with float types):
    1 - calculate the line distance;
    2 - calculate the X and Y distance;
    3 - divide the XDistance with LineDistance and the same for YDistance for get the XSteps and YSteps;
    4 - now i can add\sub the Steps for the next\previous line dot and with same orientation\angle:
    Move line back(same can be done on Z):
    Code:
    //Getting Line Distance(float results):
            float DX = abs(X1 - X0);
            float DY = abs(Y1 - Y0);
            float DZ = abs(Z1 - Z0);
            float LineDistance =abs( sqrt(pow(DX,2) + pow(DY,2) + pow(DZ,2)));
    
    //Getting the Steps incrementation(float results):
            float XSteps = DX/LineDistance;
            float YSteps = DY/LineDistance;
            float ZSteps = DZ/LineDistance;
    
    
    
    float NewX0 = X0 - XSteps;
    float  NewY0 = Y0 - YSteps;
    float  NewZ0 = Z0 - ZSteps;
    float NewX1 = X1 - XSteps;
    float NewY1 = Y1 - YSteps;
    float NewZ1 = Z1 - ZSteps;
    for move front we add the steps.
    but sometimes i fail on calculations... and i fail much more in using the 'int' instead 'float' on calculations

    Yes, it is a new bug in the forum's engine. The Admin promised that this bug will be fixed in some weeks...

    What "Translation" do you mean?

    ...
    What do you mean by the "same direction"?

    see these line with origin and destinity: LineSteps line(0,200,0,400,200,500);
    now i need move the line... how can i subtract 1 from (0,200,0), but continue with same line size or (400,200,500) minus 1?

    Well, "subtract 1 from" something is easy. The only questio is in what direction are you going to move your line!
