IVector3 (Jadex Active Component Platform 2.4 API.)

All Known Implementing Classes:

Vector3Double, Vector3Int
```
public interface IVector3
```
Interface for cartesian 2-vectors NOTE: All operations on the vector are destructive and the instance returned is the same as the one whose method was called. If you require a copy of the vector before performing operations on it, use the copy constructor, the copy method or the clone interface.
