Class: QgsVector3D

class qgis.core.QgsVector3D

Bases: sip.wrapper

Constructs a null vector

QgsVector3D(x: float, y: float, z: float) Constructs a vector from given coordinates

QgsVector3D(v: QVector3D) Constructs a vector from single-precision QVector3D

QgsVector3D(QgsVector3D)

Class for storage of 3D vectors similar to QVector3D, with the difference that it uses double precision instead of single precision floating point numbers.
