Initializes a new instance of XMBYTEN2 from a two-element float array argument.

This constructor initializes a new instance of XMBYTEN2 from a two-element float array argument.

Note This constructor is only available with C++.

Syntax

void XMBYTEN2(
  const float *pArray
) noexcept;

Parameters

pArray

Two-element float array containing the values used to initialize the two components of a new instance of XMBYTEN2.

Return value

None

Remarks

Vector Component	Array Element	Range	Description
x	pArray[0]	-1.0, 1.0	During instantiation, pArray[0] is clamped between -1 and 1, multiplied by 127.0f and assigned to x.
y	pArray[1]	-1.0, 1.0	During instantiation, pArray[1] is clamped between -1 and 1, multiplied by 127.0f, and then assigned to y.

The following pseudocode demonstrates the operation of this constructor:

XMBYTEN2 instance;
_x1=min( max( pArray[0], -1.0 ), 1.0 );
_y1=min( max( pArray[1], -1.0 ), 1.0 );
_x1 = round( _x1 *  127.0f);
_y1 = round( _y1 *  127.0f);
instance.x = (int8_t)_x1;
instance.y = (int8_t)_y1;
