Detailed Description

Algebraic operations on two-dimensional vectors (dot product, vector length and angles, ...)

Here is an overview over the functionality:

Operation	Translation	Scale	Rotation
Get	v	Length(v)	PolarAngle(v)
Set, absolute	v = w	SetLength(v,l)	SetPolarAngle(v,a)
Set, relative	v += w	v *= l	Rotate(v,a)
Copy, relative	v + w	v * l	RotatedVector(v,a)

Other functions:

DotProduct(v,w)	UnitVector(v)	SquaredLength(v)
CrossProduct(v,w)	PerpendicularVector(v)	Angle(v,w)
ComponentwiseProduct(v,w)	ComponentwiseQuotient(v,w)	ConvertVector<T>(v)
