A 2D vector using floating-point coordinates.
A 2-element structure that can be used to represent 2D coordinates or any other pair of numeric values.
It uses floating-point coordinates. By default, these floating-point values use 32-bit precision, unlike [float] which is always 64-bit. If double precision is needed, compile the engine with the option [code]precision=double[/code].
See [Vector2i] for its integer counterpart.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector2 will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector2(0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector2 will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].

Returns the 2D analog of the cross product for this vector and [param with].
This is the signed area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. If the second vector is clockwise from the first vector, then the cross product is the positive area. If counter-clockwise, the cross product is the negative area. If the two vectors are parallel this returns zero, making it useful for testing if two vectors are parallel.
[b]Note:[/b] Cross product is not defined in 2D mathematically. This method embeds the 2D vectors in the XY plane of 3D space and uses their cross product's Z component as the analog.
Performs a cubic interpolation between this vector and [param b] using [param pre_a] and [param post_b] as handles, and returns the result at position [param weight]. [param weight] is on the range of 0.0 to 1.0, representing the amount of interpolation.

It can perform smoother interpolation than [method cubic_interpolate] by the time values.
Returns the normalized vector pointing from this vector to [param to]. This is equivalent to using [code](b - a).normalized()[/code].

This method runs faster than [method distance_to], so prefer it if you need to compare vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.
Returns the distance between this vector and [param to].
Returns the dot product of this vector and [param with]. This can be used to compare the angle between two vectors. For example, this can be used to determine whether an enemy is facing the player.
The dot product will be [code]0[/code] for a straight angle (90 degrees), greater than 0 for angles narrower than 90 degrees and lower than 0 for angles wider than 90 degrees.
When using unit (normalized) vectors, the result will always be between [code]-1.0[/code] (180 degree angle) when the vectors are facing opposite directions, and [code]1.0[/code] (0 degree angle) when the vectors are aligned.
[b]Note:[/b] [code]a.dot(b)[/code] is equivalent to [code]b.dot(a)[/code].
Returns a new vector with all components rounded down (towards negative infinity).

[codeblock]
print(Vector2.from_angle(0)) # Prints (1, 0).
print(Vector2(1, 0).angle()) # Prints 0, which is the angle used above.
print(Vector2.from_angle(PI / 2)) # Prints (0, 1).
[/codeblock]
Returns [code]true[/code] if this vector and [param to] are approximately equal, by running [method @GlobalScope.is_equal_approx] on each component.

This method is faster than using [method is_equal_approx] with one value as a zero vector.
Returns the length (magnitude) of this vector.
Returns the squared length (squared magnitude) of this vector.
This method runs faster than [method length], so prefer it if you need to compare vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.

Returns the axis of the vector's highest value. See [code]AXIS_*[/code] constants. If all components are equal, this method returns [constant AXIS_X].

[b]Note:[/b] If the vector [param b] is a zero vector, the components of the resulting new vector will be [constant @GDScript.NAN].
Returns the result of reflecting the vector from a line defined by the given direction vector [param line].
[b]Note:[/b] [method reflect] differs from what other engines and frameworks call [code skip-lint]reflect()[/code]. In other engines, [code skip-lint]reflect()[/code] takes a normal direction which is a direction perpendicular to the line. In Godot, you specify the direction of the line directly. See also [method bounce] which does what most engines call [code skip-lint]reflect()[/code].
Returns the result of rotating this vector by [param angle] (in radians). See also [method @GlobalScope.deg_to_rad].
Returns a new vector with all components rounded to the nearest integer, with halfway cases rounded away from zero.
Returns a new vector with each component set to [code]1.0[/code] if it's positive, [code]-1.0[/code] if it's negative, and [code]0.0[/code] if it's zero. The result is identical to calling [method @GlobalScope.sign] on each component.
Returns the result of spherical linear interpolation between this vector and [param to], by amount [param weight]. [param weight] is on the range of 0.0 to 1.0, representing the amount of interpolation.
This method also handles interpolating the lengths if the input vectors have different lengths. For the special case of one or both input vectors having zero length, this method behaves like [method lerp].
Returns a new vector resulting from sliding this vector along a line with normal [param n]. The resulting new vector is perpendicular to [param n], and is equivalent to this vector minus its projection on [param n]. See also [method project].
[b]Note:[/b] The vector [param n] must be normalized. See also [method normalized].

Infinity vector, a vector with all components set to [constant @GDScript.INF].
Left unit vector. Represents the direction of left.
Right unit vector. Represents the direction of right.
Up unit vector. Y is down in 2D, so this vector points -Y.
Down unit vector. Y is down in 2D, so this vector points +Y.
Returns [code]true[/code] if the vectors are not equal.
[b]Note:[/b] Due to floating-point precision errors, consider using [method is_equal_approx] instead, which is more reliable.
[b]Note:[/b] Vectors with [constant @GDScript.NAN] elements don't behave the same as other vectors. Therefore, the results from this operator may not be accurate if NaNs are included.
Inversely transforms (multiplies) the [Vector2] by the given [Transform2D] transformation matrix, under the assumption that the transformation basis is orthonormal (i.e. rotation/reflection is fine, scaling/skew is not).

For transforming by inverse of an affine transformation (e.g. with scaling) [code]transform.affine_inverse() * vector[/code] can be used instead. See [method Transform2D.affine_inverse].
