API Reference

Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors is split across four packages, each covering a distinct layer. Use the namespace browser on the left to navigate to individual types, or jump directly using the table below.

Packages and namespaces

Package	Namespace	Purpose
`Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors`	Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors	Core unit-aware 2D/3D vector types
`Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.MonoGame`	Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.MonoGame	Core vector ↔ MonoGame/XNA conversions + Camera
`Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.Geometry`	Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.Geometry	Unit-aware 2D geometry shapes and transforms
`Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.Geometry.MonoGame`	Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.Geometry.MonoGame	Geometry ↔ MonoGame/XNA conversions + DebugDraw

Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors

Unit-aware 2D and 3D vector types. Every component is a UnitsNet quantity, so operations preserve physical units automatically. Arithmetic between vector types produces the correct quantity type: LengthVector2 / Duration returns SpeedVector2; ForceVector2.Dot(LengthVector2) returns Energy.

Foundational types

Type	Description
`LengthPoint2`	A 2D point in physical length units (not a vector — no addition)
`LengthVector2` / `LengthVector3`	Displacement in physical length units
`DoubleVector2` / `DoubleVector3`	Dimensionless vectors; used for normals and direction maths

Physics vectors

Type	Description
`SpeedVector2` / `SpeedVector3`	Velocity
`AccelerationVector2` / `AccelerationVector3`	Acceleration
`JerkVector2` / `JerkVector3`	Rate of change of acceleration
`ForceVector2` / `ForceVector3`	Force
`ImpulseVector2` / `ImpulseVector3`	Impulse (force × time)

Field and density vectors

Type	Description
`ElectricFieldVector2` / `ElectricFieldVector3`	Electric field
`MagneticFieldVector2` / `MagneticFieldVector3`	Magnetic flux density
`MagnetizationVector2` / `MagnetizationVector3`	Magnetization
`ElectricCurrentDensityVector3`	Electric current density (3D only)
`MassFluxVector3`	Mass flux (3D only)
`LinearDensityVector2`	Linear density
`AreaVector2`	Area vector
`TemperatureGradientVector3`	Temperature gradient (3D only)

Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.MonoGame

Conversion helpers between core vector types and MonoGame's Vector2 / Vector3, plus a camera type for world-to-screen projection.

Type	Description
`XnaVector2Extensions`	`LengthVector2` ↔ `Vector2`, with pixel scale (`Ratio`)
`XnaVector3Extensions`	`LengthVector3` ↔ `Vector3`, with pixel scale (`Ratio`)
`Camera2`	2D world-to-screen camera using position, rotation, and pixel scale
`PixelScale`	Pixels-per-metre scale factor
`GameTimeExtensions`	`ElapsedAsDuration(this GameTime)` — bridge from MonoGame game time to `UnitsNet.Duration`

Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.Geometry

Unit-aware 2D geometry shapes, a coordinate-frame transform, and directional types. All position coordinates use LengthPoint2; all displacement vectors use LengthVector2.

Points and directions

Type	Description
`LengthPoint2`	A 2D point in physical length units
`Direction2`	A normalised 2D direction (wraps an `Angle`); East = +X
`Transform2`	A 2D coordinate frame: position + rotation (`Direction2`) + scale (`Ratio`)

Linear primitives

Type	Description
`LengthSegment2`	A finite line segment between two `LengthPoint2` values
`LengthRay2`	A ray from an origin in a `Direction2`
`LengthLine2`	An infinite line through a point in a `Direction2`

Shapes

Type	Description
`Circle2`	Circle defined by centre + `Radius`; `FromPoints(p1, p2, p3)` constructs the circumscribed circle
`Rectangle2`	Axis-aligned or rotated rectangle
`Triangle2`	Triangle with vertices A, B, C
`Ellipse2`	Ellipse with semi-major/minor axes and rotation
`Arc2`	Circular arc (partial circle); `PointAt(Ratio)`, `TangentAt(Ratio)`, `FromPoints` (circle+endpoints or 3-point with direction inference), `CalculateArcPoints`
`Sector2`	Pie-slice sector
`Capsule2`	Capsule (two semicircles + rectangle)
`Polygon2`	Arbitrary convex or concave polygon

Thunder.UnitsNET.Vectors.Geometry.MonoGame

MonoGame/XNA conversion helpers for geometry types, plus the full DebugDraw wireframe rendering system.

Conversions

Type	Description
`GeometryXnaExtensions`	Shape → XNA primitives (centres, radii, corners) with pixel scale
`Transform2XnaExtensions`	`Transform2` → `Matrix` for use in `SpriteBatch.Begin`

DebugDraw wireframe rendering

All DebugDraw methods take a SpriteBatch, a 1×1 pixel Texture2D (from DebugDrawExtensions.CreatePixelTexture), and a world-to-screen Transform2.

Type	Description
`DebugDrawExtensions`	Core helpers: `CreatePixelTexture`, `DrawLine`, `WorldToScreen`
`PolygonDebugDrawExtensions`	Wireframe for `Rectangle2`, `Triangle2`, `Polygon2`
`CurveDebugDrawExtensions`	Wireframe for `Circle2`, `Ellipse2`, `Arc2`, `Sector2`, `Capsule2`
`PrimitiveDebugDrawExtensions`	Wireframe for `LengthSegment2`, `LengthRay2`, `LengthLine2`, `Transform2` axes, `Direction2` arrows

// One-time setup
Texture2D pixel = DebugDrawExtensions.CreatePixelTexture(GraphicsDevice);

// Per-frame, inside SpriteBatch.Begin/End
var worldToScreen = new Transform2(
    LengthPoint2.FromMeters(400, 300),   // screen centre
    Direction2.East,                      // no camera rotation
    Ratio.FromDecimalFractions(64.0));    // 64 pixels per metre

myCircle.DebugDraw(spriteBatch, pixel, worldToScreen, Color.Red);
myRect.DebugDraw(spriteBatch, pixel, worldToScreen, Color.Green);
myTransform.DebugDraw(spriteBatch, pixel, worldToScreen);
