<brief_description>
A 3×3 matrix for representing 3D rotation and scale.
</brief_description>
<description>
The [Basis] built-in [Variant] type is a 3×3 [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)]matrix[/url] used to represent 3D rotation, scale, and shear. It is frequently used within a [Transform3D].
A [Basis] is composed by 3 axis vectors, each representing a column of the matrix: [member x], [member y], and [member z]. The length of each axis ([method Vector3.length]) influences the basis's scale, while the direction of all axes influence the rotation. Usually, these axes are perpendicular to one another. However, when you rotate any axis individually, the basis becomes sheared. Applying a sheared basis to a 3D model will make the model appear distorted.
A [Basis] is [b]orthogonal[/b] if its axes are perpendicular to each other. A basis is [b]normalized[/b] if the length of every axis is [code]1[/code]. A basis is [b]uniform[/b] if all axes share the same length (see [method get_scale]). A basis is [b]orthonormal[/b] if it is both orthogonal and normalized, which allows it to only represent rotations. A basis is [b]conformal[/b] if it is both orthogonal and uniform, which ensures it is not distorted.
For a general introduction, see the [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/math/matrices_and_transforms.html]Matrices and transforms[/url] tutorial.
[b]Note:[/b] Godot uses a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule]right-handed coordinate system[/url], which is a common standard. For directions, the convention for built-in types like [Camera3D] is for -Z to point forward (+X is right, +Y is up, and +Z is back). Other objects may use different direction conventions. For more information, see the [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/assets_pipeline/importing_scenes.html#d-asset-direction-conventions]Importing 3D Scenes[/url] tutorial.
[b]Note:[/b] The basis matrices are exposed as [url=https://www.mindcontrol.org/~hplus/graphics/matrix-layout.html]column-major[/url] order, which is the same as OpenGL. However, they are stored internally in row-major order, which is the same as DirectX.

<description>
Constructs a [Basis] that only represents rotation from the given [Quaternion].
[b]Note:[/b] Quaternions [i]only[/i] store rotation, not scale. Because of this, conversions from [Basis] to [Quaternion] cannot always be reversed.

<methods>
<method name="determinant" qualifiers="const">
<return type="float" />
<description>
Returns the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant]determinant[/url] of this basis's matrix. For advanced math, this number can be used to determine a few attributes:
- If the determinant is exactly [code]0[/code], the basis is not invertible (see [method inverse]).
- If the determinant is a negative number, the basis represents a negative scale.
[b]Note:[/b] If the basis's scale is the same for every axis, its determinant is always that scale by the power of 2.

</method>
<method name="from_euler" qualifiers="static">
<return type="Basis" />
<param index="0" name="euler" type="Vector3" />
<param index="1" name="order" type="int" default="2" />
<description>
Constructs a new [Basis] that only represents rotation from the given [Vector3] of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles]Euler angles[/url], in radians.
- The [member Vector3.x] should contain the angle around the [member x] axis (pitch).
- The [member Vector3.y] should contain the angle around the [member y] axis (yaw).
- The [member Vector3.z] should contain the angle around the [member z] axis (roll).
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
# Creates a Basis whose z axis points down.
var my_basis = Basis.from_euler(Vector3(TAU / 4, 0, 0))
print(my_basis.z) # Prints (0, -1, 0).
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
// Creates a Basis whose z axis points down.
var myBasis = Basis.FromEuler(new Vector3(Mathf.Tau / 4.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
GD.Print(myBasis.Z); // Prints (0, -1, 0).
[/csharp]
[/codeblocks]
The order of each consecutive rotation can be changed with [param order] (see [enum EulerOrder] constants). By default, the YXZ convention is used ([constant EULER_ORDER_YXZ]): the basis rotates first around the Y axis (yaw), then X (pitch), and lastly Z (roll). When using the opposite method [method get_euler], this order is reversed.
</description>
</method>
<method name="from_scale" qualifiers="static">
<return type="Basis" />

<description>
Constructs a new [Basis] that only represents scale, with no rotation or shear, from the given [param scale] vector.
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
var my_basis = Basis.from_scale(Vector3(2, 4, 8))
print(my_basis.x) # Prints (2, 0, 0).

print(my_basis.z) # Prints (0, 0, 8).
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
var myBasis = Basis.FromScale(new Vector3(2.0f, 4.0f, 8.0f));
GD.Print(myBasis.X); // Prints (2, 0, 0).
GD.Print(myBasis.Y); // Prints (0, 4, 0).
GD.Print(myBasis.Z); // Prints (0, 0, 8).

[/codeblocks]
[b]Note:[/b] In linear algebra, the matrix of this basis is also known as a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_matrix]diagonal matrix[/url].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_euler" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Vector3" />
<param index="0" name="order" type="int" default="2" />
<description>
Returns this basis's rotation as a [Vector3] of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles]Euler angles[/url], in radians.
- The [member Vector3.x] contains the angle around the [member x] axis (pitch);
- The [member Vector3.y] contains the angle around the [member y] axis (yaw);
- The [member Vector3.z] contains the angle around the [member z] axis (roll).
The order of each consecutive rotation can be changed with [param order] (see [enum EulerOrder] constants). By default, the YXZ convention is used ([constant EULER_ORDER_YXZ]): Z (roll) is calculated first, then X (pitch), and lastly Y (yaw). When using the opposite method [method from_euler], this order is reversed.
[b]Note:[/b] Euler angles are much more intuitive but are not suitable for 3D math. Because of this, consider using the [method get_rotation_quaternion] method instead, which returns a [Quaternion].
[b]Note:[/b] In the Inspector dock, a basis's rotation is often displayed in Euler angles (in degrees), as is the case with the [member Node3D.rotation] property.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_rotation_quaternion" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Quaternion" />
<description>
Returns this basis's rotation as a [Quaternion].
[b]Note:[/b] Quatenions are much more suitable for 3D math but are less intuitive. For user interfaces, consider using the [method get_euler] method, which returns Euler angles.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_scale" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Vector3" />
<description>
Returns the length of each axis of this basis, as a [Vector3]. If the basis is not sheared, this is the scaling factor. It is not affected by rotation.

var my_basis = Basis(
Vector3(2, 0, 0),

# Rotating the Basis in any way preserves its scale.
my_basis = my_basis.rotated(Vector3.UP, TAU / 2)
my_basis = my_basis.rotated(Vector3.RIGHT, TAU / 4)
print(my_basis.get_scale()) # Prints (2, 4, 8).
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
var myBasis = new Basis(
Vector3(2.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f),

myBasis = myBasis.Rotated(Vector3.Right, Mathf.Tau / 4.0f);
GD.Print(myBasis.Scale); // Prints (2, 4, 8).
[/csharp]

[b]Note:[/b] If the value returned by [method determinant] is negative, the scale is also negative.
</description>
</method>
<method name="inverse" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Basis" />
<description>
Returns the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertible_matrix]inverse of this basis's matrix[/url].
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_conformal" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if this basis is conformal. A conformal basis is both [i]orthogonal[/i] (the axes are perpendicular to each other) and [i]uniform[/i] (the axes share the same length). This method can be especially useful during physics calculations.
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_equal_approx" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<param index="0" name="b" type="Basis" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if this basis and [param b] are approximately equal, by calling [method @GlobalScope.is_equal_approx] on all vector components.
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_finite" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if this basis is finite, by calling [method @GlobalScope.is_finite] on all vector components.
</description>
</method>
<method name="looking_at" qualifiers="static">
<return type="Basis" />
<param index="0" name="target" type="Vector3" />
<param index="1" name="up" type="Vector3" default="Vector3(0, 1, 0)" />
<param index="2" name="use_model_front" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Creates a new [Basis] with a rotation such that the forward axis (-Z) points towards the [param target] position.
By default, the -Z axis (camera forward) is treated as forward (implies +X is right). If [param use_model_front] is [code]true[/code], the +Z axis (asset front) is treated as forward (implies +X is left) and points toward the [param target] position.
The up axis (+Y) points as close to the [param up] vector as possible while staying perpendicular to the forward axis. The returned basis is orthonormalized (see [method orthonormalized]). The [param target] and [param up] vectors cannot be [constant Vector3.ZERO], and cannot be parallel to each other.
</description>
</method>
<method name="orthonormalized" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Basis" />
<description>
Returns the orthonormalized version of this basis. An orthonormal basis is both [i]orthogonal[/i] (the axes are perpendicular to each other) and [i]normalized[/i] (the axes have a length of [code]1[/code]), which also means it can only represent rotation.
It is often useful to call this method to avoid rounding errors on a rotating basis:
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
# Rotate this Node3D every frame.
func _process(delta):
basis = basis.rotated(Vector3.UP, TAU * delta)
basis = basis.rotated(Vector3.RIGHT, TAU * delta)
basis = basis.orthonormalized()
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
// Rotate this Node3D every frame.
public override void _Process(double delta)
{
Basis = Basis.Rotated(Vector3.Up, Mathf.Tau * (float)delta)
.Rotated(Vector3.Right, Mathf.Tau * (float)delta)
.Orthonormalized();
}
