Kernel::Plane_3 Kernel::ConstructPlane_3::operator()	(	const Kernel::RT &	a,
		const Kernel::RT &	b,
		const Kernel::RT &	c,
		const Kernel::RT &	d
	)

creates a plane defined by the equation \( a\, x +b\, y +c\, z + d = 0\).

Notice that it is degenerate if \( a = b = c = 0\).

Kernel::Plane_3 Kernel::ConstructPlane_3::operator()	(	const Kernel::Point_3 &	p,
		const Kernel::Point_3 &	q,
		const Kernel::Point_3 &	r
	)

creates a plane passing through the points p, q and r.

The plane is oriented such that p, q and r are oriented in a positive sense (that is counterclockwise) when seen from the positive side of the plane. Notice that it is degenerate if the points are collinear.
