Extracting X and Y from a GLKVector3 ? iOS

Question

Say I have a GLKVector3 and want to read only the x and y values as CGPoints - how can I do this ?

Answer 1

In the GLKVector3 doc, there is type definition:

union _GLKVector3
{
   struct { float x, y, z; };
   struct { float r, g, b; };
   struct { float s, t, p; };
      float v[3];
};
typedef union _GLKVector3 GLKVector3;

There for there are 3 options:

GLKVector3's v attribute which is a float[3] array of {x,y,z}

i.e.:

GLKVector3 vector;

...

float x = vector.v[0];
float y = vector.v[1];
float z = vector.v[2];

CGPoint p = CGPointMake(x,y); 

Then there are also float attributes x,y,z or less relevant r,g,b or s,t,p for different uses of the vector type:

CGPoint p = CGPointMake(vector.x,vector.y);
