Hi all,

Here's the easiest questions this group will get in some time. I'm doing
some matrix munging, and want my code to go as fast as possible. So, I'm
trying to use the pfMatrix::setMatType method, as documented in the
pfMatrix man page. Problem is, the method doesn't really seem to exist.

I'm running Performer 2.2 on Irix 6.5.

cc-1132 CC: ERROR File = foo.C, Line = 212
  The class "pfMatrix" has no member "setMatType".

      m.setMatType(PFMAT_TRANS|PFMAT_ROT) ;
              ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "Bundle.C".
gmake: *** [Bundle.o] Error 2

The other question relates to pfMatrix::getOrthoCoord. The man page and
include file declare it as:
   pfMatrix::getOrthoCoord(pfCoord* dst);

But the man page's description says:
     
   pfMatrix::getOrthoCoord returns in the pfMatrix the translation
   and rotation of the orthonormal matrix, m. The returned pitch
   ranges from -90 to +90 degrees. Roll and heading range from -180
   to +180.

which seems to imply it wants a matrix as an argument. If I want
a routine which takes a pfCoord as an argument, I'd use
pfMatrix::makeCoord

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-John
