Matrix library for web-assembly

This is matrix library for web-assembly. I designed this libray for web-gl, but you may use general purpose program.

How to use this in javascript

Matrix procedures are in web-assembly. You have to load the assembly first.

// load glrs.js 
const glrs = require('glrs')

let wasmMod = undefined;

if (typeof window === 'undefined') {
  // You have to compile if you use this library in nodejs.
  const path = require('path')
  const fs = require('fs')
  const wasmPath = path.join(
      path.dirname(require.resolve('glrs')), 'glrs_bg.wasm') 
  wasmMod = WebAssembly.compile(fs.readFileSync(wasmPath))
}

(async () => {
  const glrsInterface = await glrs.init(wasmMod)
  // You can use glrs matrix library
  
})

Matrix operation in javascript

To use matrix, you have to get handle to matrix object. When you don't need it anymore, You should release the handle from memory heap.

// instantiate matrix 
// create matrix 
// | 2.0 0.0 |
// | 0.0 1.0 |
const mt = glrs.matrix_create_with_components_row_order([2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]) 
// mt is handle

// You use mt 

// release matrix
glrs.matrix_release(mt)

You can do some matrix operations with matrix handle.

// the handle to matrix object
const matrix = [0, 0, 0]

matrix[0] =
glrs.matrix_create_with_components_row_order(
[ 7, 2, 1,
  0, 3, -1,
  -3, 4, -2])

// get inverse of matrix.
matrix[1] = glrs.matrix_inverse(matrix[0])

// If you pass the matrix having determinant 0, 
// you would have invalid handle which equals 0

// inverse of matrix is here.
const expectedComponents0 = [
  -2, 8, -5,
  3, -11, 7,
  9, -34, 21
]

const components0 = glrs.matrix_get_components_row_order(matrix[1])

components0.forEach( (compo, idx) => {
  // internal matrix use floating value.
  // some components may not equal exact value you expect for floating 
  // operation error.
  assert.ok(0.0001 > Math.abs((expectedComponents0[idx] - compo)))
})

// multiply operation
matrix[2] = glrs.matrix_multiply(matrix[0], matrix[1])
// result equals identity matrix
const expectedComponents1 = [
  1, 0, 0,
  0, 1, 0,
  0, 0, 1
]
const components1 = glrs.matrix_get_components_row_order(matrix[2])
components1.forEach( (compo, idx) => {
  // some value might not equal exactly for floating operation error.
  assert.ok(0.0001 > Math.abs((expectedComponents1[idx] - compo)))
})

// release matrix instance
matrix.forEach( mt => glrs.matrix_release(mt) )

Matrix vector opeation in javascript

You can operate vector with matrix.

// the handle to matrix object
const matrix = [0, 0]

// create 3x3 matrix
matrix[0] = glrs.matrix_create_with_components_row_order(
  [ 7, 2, 1,
    0, 3, -1,
    -3, 4, -2 ])
// get inverse of matrix
matrix[1] = glrs.matrix_inverse(matrix[0])

// apply matrix to vector
const vec0 = glrs.matrix_apply_r_64(matrix[0], [2, 3, 4])
const vec1 = glrs.matrix_apply_r_64(matrix[1], vec0)

// you expect these components. 
const expectedVec0 = [ 24, 5, -2 ]


vec0.forEach((compo, idx) => {
  // some components do not equal exactly for floating operation error.
  assert.ok(0.0001 > Math.abs((expectedVec0[idx] - compo)))
})

const expectedVec1 = [ 2, 3, 4 ]

vec1.forEach((compo, idx) => {
  assert.ok(0.0001 > Math.abs((expectedVec1[idx] - compo)))
})

// release matrix instance from heap
matrix.forEach( mt => glrs.matrix_release(mt) )
