Description | Sets the x, y, and z component of the vector using three separate variables, the data from a PVector, or the values from a float array.
Syntax |
    vec.set(x, y, z)
    vec.set(v)
    vec.set(array)
Parameters |
vec | any variable of type PVector
x | float: the x component of the vector
y | float: the y component of the vector
z | float: the z component of the vector
v | PVector: the x, y, and z components from a PVector object
array | float[]: the x, y (and maybe z) components from a float array
Usage | Web & Application
