### Method

# Gimp Vector2 cross_product

#### Declaration [src]

    GimpVector2
    gimp_vector2_cross_product (
      const GimpVector2* vector1,
      const GimpVector2* vector2
    )

#### Description [src]

Compute the cross product of two vectors. The result is a `GimpVector2` which is orthogonal to both `vector1` and `vector2`. If `vector1` and `vector2` are parallel, the result will be the nul vector.

Note that in 2D, this function is useful to test if two vectors are parallel or not, or to compute the area spawned by two vectors.

#### Parameters

`vector2`

  Type: `GimpVector2`

  A pointer to the second `GimpVector2`.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.

#### Return value

Type: `GimpVector2`

The cross product.
