// Function: is_vector()
// Usage:
//   is_vector(v)
// Description:
//   Returns true if the given value is a list, and at least the first item is a number.
function is_vector(v) = is_list(v) && is_num(v[0]);


// Function: vmul()
// Description:
//   Element-wise vector multiplication.  Multiplies each element of vector `v1` by
//   the corresponding element of vector `v2`.  Returns a vector of the products.
// Arguments:
//   v1 = The first vector.
//   v2 = The second vector.
// Example:
//   vmul([3,4,5], [8,7,6]);  // Returns [24, 28, 30]

// Function: vdiv()
// Description:
//   Element-wise vector division.  Divides each element of vector `v1` by
//   the corresponding element of vector `v2`.  Returns a vector of the quotients.
// Arguments:
//   v1 = The first vector.
//   v2 = The second vector.
// Example:
//   vdiv([24,28,30], [8,7,6]);  // Returns [3, 4, 5]

// Arguments:
//   v = The vector to get the absolute values of.

// Function: normalize()
// Description:
//   Returns unit length normalized version of vector v.
// Arguments:
//   v = The vector to normalize.
function normalize(v) = v/norm(v);


// Function: vquant()
// Usage:
//   vquant(v,m)
// Description:
//   Quantizes each scalar in the vector `v` to an integer multiple of `m`, rounding to the nearest multiple.
// Arguments:
//   v = The vector to quantize.
//   m = The multiple to quantize to.
function vquant(v,m) = [for (x=v) quant(x,m)];


// Function: vquantdn()
// Usage:
//   vquantdn(v,m)
// Description:
//   Quantizes each scalar in the vector `v` to an integer multiple of `m`, rounding down to the nearest multiple.
// Arguments:
//   v = The vector to quantize.
//   m = The multiple to quantize to.

// Function: vquantup()
// Usage:
//   vquantup(v,m)
// Description:
//   Quantizes each scalar in the vector `v` to an integer multiple of `m`, rounding up to the nearest multiple.
// Arguments:
//   v = The vector to quantize.
//   m = The multiple to quantize to.

// Function: vector_angle()
// Usage:
//   vector_angle(v1,v2);
//   vector_angle(PT1,PT2,PT3);
//   vector_angle([PT1,PT2,PT3]);
// Description:
//   If given a single list of two vectors, like `vector_angle([V1,V2])`, returns the angle between the two vectors V1 and V2.
//   If given a single list of three points, like `vector_angle([A,B,C])`, returns the angle between the line segments AB and BC.
//   If given two vectors, like `vector_angle(V1,V1)`, returns the angle between the two vectors V1 and V2.
//   If given three points, like `vector_angle(A,B,C)`, returns the angle between the line segments AB and BC.
// Arguments:
//   v1 = First vector or point.
//   v2 = Second vector or point.
//   v3 = Third point in three point mode.
// NOTE: constrain() corrects crazy FP rounding errors that exceed acos()'s domain.
