NAME
cp - cross product of two 3 element vectors
SYNOPSIS
cp(x, y)
TYPES
x, y 1-dimensional matrices with 3 elements
return 1-dimensional matrix with 3 elements
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the product of two 3 1-dimensional matrices.
If x has elements (x0, x1, x2), and y has elements (y0, y1, y2),
cp(x,y) returns the matrix of type [0:2] with elements:
{x1 * y2 - x2 * y1, x3 * y1 - x1 * y3, x1 * y2 - x2 * y1}
EXAMPLE
> mat x[3] = {2,3,4}
> mat y[3] = {3,4,5}
> print cp(x,y)
mat [3] (3 elements, 3 nonzero):
[0] = -1
[1] = 2
[2] = -1
LIMITS
The components of the matrices are to be of types for which the
required algebraic operations have been defined.
LIBRARY
MATRIX *matcross(MATRIX *x, MATRIX *y)
