public static Vec4[] computePrincipalAxes(BufferWrapper coordinates,

```
    Returns an array of normalized vectors defining the three principal axes of the x-, y-, and z-coordinates from the specified buffer of points, sorted from the most prominent axis to the least prominent. This returns null if the buffer is empty. The returned array contains three normalized orthogonal vectors defining a coordinate system which best fits the distribution of the points about its arithmetic mean.
    The buffer must contain XYZ coordinate tuples which are either tightly packed or offset by the specified stride. The stride specifies the number of buffer elements between the first coordinate of consecutive tuples. For example, a stride of 3 specifies that each tuple is tightly packed as XYZXYZXYZ, whereas a stride of 5 specifies that there are two elements between each tuple as XYZabXYZab (the elements "a" and "b" are ignored). The stride must be at least 3. If the buffer's length is not evenly divisible into stride-sized tuples, this ignores the remaining elements that follow the last complete tuple.
    
    Parameters:
    
    coordinates - the buffer containing the point coordinates for which to compute the principal axes.
    
    stride - the number of elements between the first coordinate of consecutive points. If stride is 3, this interprets the buffer has having tightly packed XYZ coordinate tuples.
    
    Returns:
    
    the normalized principal axes of the points, sorted from the most prominent axis to the least prominent.
    
    Throws:

    Parameters:
    
    locations - the locations which define the geographic polygon.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the polygon defines a closed loop, and false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the locations are null.
  - isPolygonClosed2
```
public static boolean isPolygonClosed2(Iterable<? extends Vec4> points)
```
    Returns whether the 2D polygon described by the specified (x, y) points defines a closed loop (z and w coordinates are ignored). If the iterable holds fewer than two points, this always returns false. Therefore a polygon consisting of a single point and the empty polygon are not considered closed loops.
    
    Parameters:
    
    points - the (x, y) points which define the 2D polygon.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the polygon defines a closed loop, and false otherwise.

```
    Convenience method to compute the log base 2 of a value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value to take the log of.
    
    Returns:
    
    the log base 2 of the specified value.
  - mix
```
public static double mix(double a,
                         double x,
                         double y)
```
    Returns the linear interpolation of x and y according to the function: (1 - a) * x + a * y. The interpolation factor a defines the weight given to each value, and is clamped to the range [0, 1]. If a is 0 or less, this returns x. If a is 1 or more, this returns y. Otherwise, this returns the linear interpolation of x and y. For example, when a is 0.5 this returns (x + y)/2.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - the interpolation factor.
    
    x - the first value.
    
    y - the second value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the linear interpolation of x and y.
  - mixSmooth
```
public static double mixSmooth(double a,
                               double x,
                               double y)
```
    Returns the smooth hermite interpolation of x and y according to the function: (1 - t) * x + t * y, where t = a * a * (3 - 2 * a). The interpolation factor a defines the weight given to each value, and is clamped to the range [0, 1]. If a is 0 or less, this returns x. If a is 1 or more, this returns y. Otherwise, this returns the smooth hermite interpolation of x and y. Like the linear function mix(double, double, double), when a is 0.5 this returns (x + y)/2. But unlike the linear function, the hermite function's slope gradually increases when a is near 0, then gradually decreases when a is near 1. This is a useful property where a more gradual transition from x to y is desired.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - the interpolation factor.
    
    x - the first value.
    
    y - the second value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the smooth hermite interpolation of x and y.

    Parameters:
    
    buffer - the buffer to normalize.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the buffer is null.
  - polytopeIntersect
```
public static Intersection[] polytopeIntersect(Line line,
                                               Plane[] planes)
```
    Intersect a line with a convex polytope and return the intersection points.
    See "3-D Computer Graphics" by Samuel R. Buss, 2005, Section X.1.4.
    
    Parameters:
    
    line - the line to intersect with the polytope.
    
    planes - the planes defining the polytope. Each plane's normal must point away from the the polytope, i.e. each plane's positive halfspace is outside the polytope. (Note: This is the opposite convention from that of a view frustum.)
    
    Returns:
    
    the points of intersection, or null if the line does not intersect the polytope. Two points are returned if the line both enters and exits the polytope. One point is retured if the line origin is within the polytope.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the line is null or ill-formed, the planes array is null or there are fewer than three planes.
  - powerOfTwoCeiling

  - smoothStepValue
```
public static double smoothStepValue(double value,
                                     double min,
                                     double max)
```
    Returns a number between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating whether a specified floating point value is before, between or after the specified min and max. Returns a smooth interpolation of min and max when the value is between the two.
    This method's smooth interpolation is similar to the interpolation performed by stepValue(double, double, double), except that the first derivative of the returned number approaches zero as the value approaches the minimum or maximum. This causes the returned number to ease-in and ease-out as the value travels between the minimum and maximum.
    The returned number is undefined if min > max. Otherwise, the returned number is equivalent to the following:
    - 0.0 - If value < min
    - 1.0 - If value > max
    - Smooth interpolation of min and max - If min <= value <= max
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value to compare to the minimum and maximum.
    
    min - the minimum value.
    
    max - the maximum value.
    
    Returns:
    
    a floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.
  - stepValue
```
public static double stepValue(double value,

                               double max)
```
    Returns a number between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating whether a specified floating point value is before, between or after the specified min and max. Returns a linear interpolation of min and max when the value is between the two.
    The returned number is undefined if min > max. Otherwise, the returned number is equivalent to the following:
    - 0.0 - If value < min
    - 1.0 - If value > max
    - Linear interpolation of min and max - If min <= value <= max
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value to compare to the minimum and maximum.
    
    min - the minimum value.
    
    max - the maximum value.
    
    Returns:
    
    a floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.
