taichi.math.pow(base, exponent)#

First array elements raised to second array elements \({base}^{exponent}\), element-wise.

[Implicit type casting in binary operations](https://docs.taichi-lang.org/docs/type#implicit-type-casting-in-binary-operations).

With the above rules, an integral value raised to a negative integral value cannot have a feasible type. Therefore, an exception will be raised if debug mode or optimization passes are on; otherwise 1 will be returned.

x (Union[primitive_types, Matrix]) – Angle, in radians.

Returns:

The sine of each element of x.

Example:

>>> from math import pi
>>> x = ti.Matrix([-pi/2., 0, pi/2.])
>>> ti.sin(x)
[-1., 0., 1.]

taichi.math.smoothstep(edge0, edge1, x)#

Performs smooth Hermite interpolation between 0 and 1 when edge0 < x < edge1, element-wise.

The arguments can be scalars or Matrix, as long as they can be broadcasted to a common shape.

This function is equivalent to the smoothstep in GLSL.

Parameters:

• edge0 (primitive_types, Matrix) – Specifies the value of the lower edge of the Hermite function.

• edge1 (primitive_types, Matrix) – Specifies the value of the upper edge of the Hermite function.

• x (primitive_types, Matrix) – Specifies the source value for interpolation.

Returns:

The smoothly interpolated value.

Example:

>>> edge0 = ti.Vector([0, 1, 2])
>>> edge1 = 1
>>> x = ti.Vector([0.5, 1.5, 2.5])
>>> ti.math.smoothstep(edge0, edge1, x)
[0.500000, 1.000000, 0.000000]

taichi.math.sqrt(x)#

Return the non-negative square-root of a scalar or a matrix, element wise. If x < 0 an exception is raised.

Parameters:

x (Union[primitive_types, Matrix]) – The scalar or matrix whose square-roots are required.

Returns:

The square-root y so that y >= 0 and y^2 = x. y has the same type as x.

Example:

>>> x = ti.Matrix([1., 4., 9.])
>>> y = ti.sqrt(x)
>>> y
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]

taichi.math.step(edge, x)#

Generate a step function by comparing two values, element-wise.

step generates a step function by comparing x to edge. For element i of the return value, 0.0 is returned if x[i] < edge[i], and 1.0 is returned otherwise.

The two arguments can be scalars or Matrix, as long as they can be broadcasted to a common shape.

Parameters:

• edge (primitive_types, Matrix) – Specify the location of the edge of the step function.

• x (primitive_types, Matrix) – Specify the value to be used to generate the step function.

Returns:

The return value is computed as x >= edge, with type promoted.

Example:

>>> x = ti.Matrix([[0, 1], [2, 3]], ti.f32)
>>> y = 1
>>> ti.math.step(x, y)
[[1.000000, 1.000000], [0.000000, 0.000000]]

taichi.math.tan(x)#

Trigonometric tangent function, element-wise.

Equivalent to ti.sin(x)/ti.cos(x) element-wise.

Parameters:

x (Union[primitive_types, Matrix]) – Input scalar or matrix.

Returns:

The tangent values of x.

Example:

>>> from math import pi
>>> @ti.kernel
>>> def test():
>>>     x = ti.Matrix([-pi, pi/2, pi])
>>>     y = ti.tan(x)
>>>     print(y)
>>>
>>> test()
[-0.0, -22877334.0, 0.0]

taichi.math.tanh(x)#

Compute the hyperbolic tangent of x, element-wise.

Parameters:

x (Union[primitive_types, Matrix]) – Input scalar or matrix.

Returns:

The corresponding hyperbolic tangent values.

Example:

>>> @ti.kernel
>>> def test():
>>>     x = ti.Matrix([-1.0, 0.0, 1.0])
>>>     y = ti.tanh(x)
>>>     print(y)
>>>
>>> test()
[-0.761594, 0.000000, 0.761594]

taichi.math.translate(dx, dy, dz)#

Constructs a translation Matrix with shape (4, 4).

Parameters:

• dx (float) – delta x.

• dy (float) – delta y.

• dz (float) – delta z.

Returns:

translation matrix.

Return type:

mat4

Example:

>>> ti.math.translate(1, 2, 3)
[[ 1. 0. 0. 1.]
 [ 0. 1. 0. 2.]
 [ 0. 0. 1. 3.]
 [ 0. 0. 0. 1.]]
