Detailed Description

Basic type: 3-dimensional plane.

This class represents a three-dimensional plane as a normal vector and the distance of the plane from the origin, measured along the normal. The plane can also be used to represent a half-space: the side of the plane in the direction of the normal.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GfPlane ( )

inline

The default constructor leaves the plane parameters undefined.

Definition at line 57 of file plane.h.

GfPlane	(	const GfVec3d &	normal,
		double	distanceToOrigin
	)

inline

This constructor sets this to the plane perpendicular to normal and at distance units from the origin.

The passed-in normal is normalized to unit length first.

Definition at line 63 of file plane.h.

GfPlane	(	const GfVec3d &	normal,
		const GfVec3d &	point
	)

inline

This constructor sets this to the plane perpendicular to normal and that passes through point.

The passed-in normal is normalized to unit length first.

Definition at line 70 of file plane.h.

GfPlane	(	const GfVec3d &	p0,
		const GfVec3d &	p1,
		const GfVec3d &	p2
	)

inline

This constructor sets this to the plane that contains the three given points.

The normal is constructed from the cross product of (p1 - p0) (p2 - p0). Results are undefined if the points are collinear.

Definition at line 78 of file plane.h.

GfPlane ( const GfVec4d & eqn )

inline

This constructor creates a plane given by the equation eqn[0] * x + eqn[1] * y + eqn[2] * z + eqn[3] = 0.

Definition at line 84 of file plane.h.

double GetDistance ( const GfVec3d & p ) const

inline

Returns the distance of point from the plane.

This distance will be positive if the point is on the side of the plane containing the normal.

Definition at line 147 of file plane.h.

double GetDistanceFromOrigin ( ) const

inline

Returns the distance of the plane from the origin.

Definition at line 122 of file plane.h.

GF_API GfVec4d GetEquation ( ) const

Give the coefficients of the equation of the plane.

Suitable to OpenGL calls to set the clipping plane.

const GfVec3d& GetNormal ( ) const

inline

Returns the unit-length normal vector of the plane.

Definition at line 117 of file plane.h.

GF_API bool IntersectsPositiveHalfSpace ( const GfRange3d & box ) const

Returns true if the given aligned bounding box is at least partially on the positive side (the one the normal points into) of the plane.

bool IntersectsPositiveHalfSpace ( const GfVec3d & pt ) const

inline

Returns true if the given point is on the plane or within its positive half space.

Definition at line 177 of file plane.h.

bool operator!= ( const GfPlane & p ) const

inline

Component-wise inequality test.

The normals and distances must match exactly for planes to be considered equal.

Definition at line 140 of file plane.h.

bool operator== ( const GfPlane & p ) const

inline

Component-wise equality test.

The normals and distances must match exactly for planes to be considered equal.

inline

Return the projection of p onto the plane.

void Reorient ( const GfVec3d & p )

inline

Flip the plane normal (if necessary) so that p is in the positive halfspace.
