Syntax

public class Plane3D

Constructors

Plane3D(Vector3D, Coordinate)

Declaration

public Plane3D(Vector3D normal, Coordinate basePt)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector3D	normal
Coordinate	basePt

Methods

ClosestAxisPlane()

Computes the axis plane that this plane lies closest to.

Geometries lying in this plane undergo least distortion (and have maximum area) when projected to the closest axis plane. This provides optimal conditioning for computing a Point-in-Polygon test.

Declaration

public Plane ClosestAxisPlane()

Returns

Type	Description
Plane	The index of the closest axis plane

OrientedDistance(Coordinate)

Computes the oriented distance from a point to the plane.
The distance is:

• positive if the point lies above the plane (relative to the plane normal)
• zero if the point is on the plane
• negative if the point lies below the plane (relative to the plane normal)

Declaration

public double OrientedDistance(Coordinate p)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Coordinate	p	The point to compute the distance for

Returns

Type	Description
Double	The oriented distance to the plane
