	In [[mathematics]], any [[Vector (geometric)\|vector]] used to represent spatial direction is a direction vector. By convention, direction vectors have magnitude = 1.

	~~p_len <-- sqrt ( xx + yy )~~

	~~The direction from~~ the ~~origin to point '''p''', '''p_dir''', is computed by normalizing vector '''p'''~~. ~~Once p_len is established, direction vector '''p_dir''' is obtained by scalar multiplying '''p''' by 1/p_len to obtain a unit-length vector preserving the direction of '''p''~~' but ~~erasing its length:~~

	~~'''p_dir ''' <-- [ x/p_len , y/p_len ]~~

	The factorization of '''p''' into direction '''p_dir''' and magnitude p_len is quite generally useful. The original vector '''p '''can be reconstituted by scalar multiplying its direction by its length:

	~~'''p''' <-- p_len * '''p_dir'''~~

	~~Visually and intuitively, 2D direction vectors are equivalent numerically~~ to ~~the set of points on the [[unit circle]], and provide an alternative to using [[angles]] for representing directions~~. ~~Examples of 2D direction vectors:~~

	~~[ 0 , -1 ]~~

	~~[ -0.7071 , 0.7071 ]~~

	~~[ -0.9938 , 0.1104 ]~~

	~~The appeal of 2D direction vectors (as compared to angles)~~ is ~~that they may be obtained directly from points without appealing to trig functions. Direction vectors may be used to represent any possible spatial direction. Examples are~~ the ~~run direction~~ of ~~a line, the direction perpendicular to a line, and when defining coordinate rotations, specifying the newXaxis you wish to adopt~~. ~~From~~ an [[Informatics (academic field)\|informatics]] perspective, direction vectors are a more natural way to represent 2D information than angles, since the latter overcompresses 2D directional information into a 1D scalar. Software algorithms benefit from avoiding overcompressed representations, by eschewing singularities and discontinuities as exceptions needing to be handled. For example, [[slope]] squeezes the tilt of a line into a single number, but then has to appeal to infinity as a value (for slopes of vertical lines). Direction vectors distribute the information about line tilt more comfortably across two numbers using the finite number range ( -1 .. +1). Vertical lines do not have to be made into a special case, resulting in algorithmic simplification.

	~~The utility of direction vectors grows considerably when used in 3D geometry~~. ~~They are computed the same way as in 2D (additionally processing z components)~~. ~~3D direction vectors are equivalent to points on the [[unit sphere]]~~. ~~In 3D, they can be used to represent the orientations of planes, 3D circles, and other tilted objects, as well as the direction going from point '''a''' to point '''b'''.~~

	==~~Direction vectors and 2D line equations~~==

	~~Any line in two-dimensional [[Euclidean space~~]~~] can be described as the set of solutions to an equation of the form~~

	~~:<math>ax + by + c = 0</math>~~

	~~where ''a'', ''b'', ''c'' are [[real number]]s~~. ~~The run direction of the line is~~ <~~math~~>~~(-b,a)~~<~~/math~~> ~~normalized to unit length.~~ ~~The perpendicular direction to the line is~~ ( ~~a, b ) normalized to unit length.~~

	~~==Parametric equation for a line==~~

	In [[Euclidean space]] (any number of dimensions), given a point '''a''' and a nonzero vector '''v''', a line is defined [[parametric equation\|parametrically]] by ('''a'''+t'''v'''), where the parameter ''t'' varies between -∞ and +∞. This line has '''v''' as a direction vector.

	~~==Generative vs. Predicate Forms==~~

	~~The line equation '''a'''+t'''v''' is a generative form, but not a predicate form. Points may be generated along the line given values for '''a''', t and '''v'''~~:

	~~'''p''' ← '''a''' +t'''v'''~~

	~~However, in order to function as a predicate, the representation must be sufficient to easily determine ( T~~ / ~~F ) whether any specified point '''p''' is on the line~~. ~~If you substitute a known point into the above equation, it cannot be evaluated for equality because t was not supplied, only '''p'''~~ .

	~~==Predicate form of 2D Line Equation==~~

	~~An example of a predicate form of the vector line equation in 2D is:~~

	~~'''p''' • '''o''' == L~~

	~~Here, the line is represented by two features: '''o''' and L.~~

	~~'''o''' is the line's orientation, a normalized direction vector (unit vector) pointing perpendicular to its run direction.~~

	~~The orientation is computed using the same two quantities dx and dy that go into computing slope m:~~

	~~'''o''' ← ( dy , -dx ) norm = ( dy , -dx )~~ / ~~\|\| ( dy ,~~ -~~dx ) \|\| (orientation of~~ a ~~2D line)~~

	Orientation '''o''' has the advantage of not overcompressing the information vested in dx and dy into a single scalar as slope does, avoiding the need to appeal to infinity as a value. Numerical algorithms benefit by avoiding such ill-~~behaved exceptions (e.g. , slope of a vertical line).~~

	The 2nd feature of a 2D line represented this way is its location L. Intuitively and visually, L is the signed distance of the line from the origin (with positive distance increasing along direction '''o'''). Orientation must be solved before determining location. Once '''o''' is known, L can be computed given any known point '''p''' on the line:

	~~L ← '''p''' • '''o''' (location of a 2D line)~~

	~~Lines may be represented as feature pair ( '''o''' , L ) in all cases. Every line has an equivalent representation ( '''~~-~~o''' ,~~ -~~L ).~~

	~~To determine if a point '''p''' is on the line, plug the value of '''p''' into the vector line predicate and evaluate it:~~

	~~'''p''' • '''o''' == L (vector line predicate)~~

	~~In computation, the predicate must tolerate finite math error by incorporating an epsilon signifying acceptable equality:~~

	~~abs ('''p''' • '''o'''~~ - ~~L) < epsilon (finite precision vector line predicate)~~

	~~The predicate form for 2D lines can be extended to higher dimensions,~~ using ~~coordinate rotation (by matrix rotation). The general form is:~~

	~~'''R''' '''p''' == '''L'''~~

	~~where '''R''' is the [[matrix rotation]] that aligns the line with an axis, and L is the invariant vector Location of points on the line under this rotation.~~

			The factorization of '''p''' into direction '''p_dir''' and magnitude p_len is quite generally useful. The original vector '''p '''can be reconstituted by scalar multiplying its direction by its length:

			'''p''' <-- p_len * '''p_dir'''

			Visually and intuitively, 2D direction vectors are equivalent numerically to the set of points on the [[unit circle]], and provide an alternative to using [[angles]] for representing directions. Examples of 2D direction vectors:

			[ 0 , -1 ]

In 3D, they can be used to represent the orientations of planes, 3D circles, and other tilted objects, as well as the direction going from point '''a''' to point '''b'''.

			==Direction vectors and 2D line equations==

			Any line in two-dimensional [[Euclidean space]] can be described as the set of solutions to an equation of the form

			:<math>ax + by + c = 0</math>

			where ''a'', ''b'', ''c'' are [[real number]]s. The run direction of the line is <math>(-b,a)</math> normalized to unit length. The perpendicular direction to the line is ( a, b ) normalized to unit length.

			==Parametric equation for a line==

			In [[Euclidean space]] (any number of dimensions), given a point '''a''' and a nonzero vector '''v''', a line is defined [[parametric equation\|parametrically]] by ('''a'''+t'''v'''), where the parameter ''t'' varies between -∞ and +∞. This line has '''v''' as a direction vector.

			==Generative vs. Predicate Forms==

			The line equation '''a'''+t'''v''' is a generative form, but not a predicate form. Points may be generated along the line given values for '''a''', t and '''v''':

			'''p''' ← '''a''' +t'''v'''

			However, in order to function as a predicate, the representation must be sufficient to easily determine ( T / F ) whether any specified point '''p''' is on the line. If you substitute a known point into the above equation, it cannot be evaluated for equality because t was not supplied, only '''p''' .

			==Predicate form of 2D Line Equation==

			An example of a predicate form of the vector line equation in 2D is:

			'''p''' • '''o''' == L

			Here, the line is represented by two features: '''o''' and L.

			'''o''' is the line's orientation, a normalized direction vector (unit vector) pointing perpendicular to its run direction.

			The orientation is computed using the same two quantities dx and dy that go into computing slope m:

			'''o''' ← ( dy , -dx ) norm = ( dy , -dx ) / \|\| ( dy , -dx ) \|\| (orientation of a 2D line)

			Orientation '''o''' has the advantage of not overcompressing the information vested in dx and dy into a single scalar as slope does, avoiding the need to appeal to infinity as a value. Numerical algorithms benefit by avoiding such ill-behaved exceptions (e.g. , slope of a vertical line).

			The 2nd feature of a 2D line represented this way is its location L. Intuitively and visually, L is the signed distance of the line from the origin (with positive distance increasing along direction '''o'''). Orientation must be solved before determining location. Once '''o''' is known, L can be computed given any known point '''p''' on the line:

			L ← '''p''' • '''o''' (location of a 2D line)

			Lines may be represented as feature pair ( '''o''' , L ) in all cases. Every line has an equivalent representation ( '''-o''' , -L ).

			To determine if a point '''p''' is on the line, plug the value of '''p''' into the vector line predicate and evaluate it:

			'''p''' • '''o''' == L (vector line predicate)

			In computation, the predicate must tolerate finite math error by incorporating an epsilon signifying acceptable equality:

			abs ('''p''' • '''o''' - L) < epsilon (finite precision vector line predicate)

			The predicate form for 2D lines can be extended to higher dimensions, using coordinate rotation (by matrix rotation). The general form is:

			'''R''' '''p''' == '''L'''

			where '''R''' is the [[matrix rotation]] that aligns the line with an axis, and L is the invariant vector Location of points on the line under this rotation.
