Class | PVector
Name | ### div()
Examples |
    PVector v;

    void setup() {
      noLoop();
      v = new PVector(30, 60, 0);
    }

    void draw() {
      ellipse(v.x, v.y, 12, 12);
      v.div(6);
      ellipse(v.x, v.y, 24, 24);
    }
    PVector v1;

    void setup() {
      noLoop();
      v1 = new PVector(30, 60, 0);
    }

    void draw() {
      ellipse(v1.x, v1.y, 12, 12);
      PVector v2 = PVector.div(v1, 6);
      ellipse(v2.x, v2.y, 24, 24);
    }
Description | Divides a vector by a scalar. The version of the method that uses a float acts directly on the vector upon which it is called (as in the first example above). The version that receives both a PVector and a float as arguments is a static methods, and returns a new PVector that is the result of the division operation. Both examples above produce the same visual output.
Syntax |
    .div(n)
    .div(v, n)
    .div(v, n, target)
Parameters |
n | float: the number by which to divide the vector
v | PVector: the vector to divide by the scalar
target | PVector: PVector in which to store the result
Returns | PVector
