sum_vectors

compas.geometry.sum_vectors(vectors, axis=0)

Calculate the sum of a series of vectors along the specified axis.

Parameters:

vectorssequence[[float, float, float] | compas.geometry.Vector]

A list of vectors.

axisint, optional

If axis == 0, the sum is taken per column. If axis == 1, the sum is taken per row.

Returns:

list[float]

The length of the list is len(vectors[0]), if axis == 0. The length is len(vectors), otherwise.

Examples

>>> vectors = [[1.0, 2.0, 3.0], [1.0, 2.0, 3.0], [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]]
>>> sum_vectors(vectors)
[3.0, 6.0, 9.0]
>>> sum_vectors(vectors, axis=1)
[6.0, 6.0, 6.0]
