## DESCRIPTION

**This engine takes as input a 2D vector, and decomposes it into two single floating-point values.**

**The input can have multiple values, allowing the engine to decompose several vectors in parallel.**

## INPUTS

**SoMFVec2f**	**vector**\
 Vector to be decomposed.

## OUTPUTS

**(SoMFFloat)**	**x**\
 First component of the vector.

**(SoMFFloat)**	**y**\
 Second component of the vector.

## METHODS

	**SoDecomposeVec2f()**\
 Constructor

## FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

```
DecomposeVec2f {
vector	0 0
}
```
