#include <CGAL/Plane_3.h>
An object h
of the data type Plane_3
is an oriented plane in the three-dimensional Euclidean space \( \E^3\).
It is defined by the set of points with Cartesian coordinates \( (x,y,z)\) that satisfy the plane equation
\[h :\; a\, x +b\, y +c\, z + d = 0.\]
The plane splits \( \E^3\) in a positive and a negative side. A point p
with Cartesian coordinates \( (px, py, pz)\) is on the positive side of h
, iff \( a\, px +b\, py +c\, pz + d > 0\). It is on the negative side, iff \( a\, px +b\, py\, +c\, pz + d < 0\).

2D Conversion | |
The following functions provide conversion between a plane and CGAL's two-dimensional space. The transformation is affine, but not necessarily an isometry. This means, the transformation preserves combinatorics, but not distances. | |
Point_2< Kernel > | to_2d (const Point_3< Kernel > &p) const |
returns the image point of the projection of p under an affine transformation, which maps h onto the \( xy\)-plane, with the \( z\)-coordinate removed. | |
Point_3< Kernel > | to_3d (const Point_2< Kernel > &p) const |
returns a point q , such that to_2d( to_3d( p )) is equal to p . | |
Predicates | |
Oriented_side | oriented_side (const Point_3< Kernel > &p) const |
returns either ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY, or the constant ON_POSITIVE_SIDE, or the constant ON_NEGATIVE_SIDE, determined by the position of p relative to the oriented plane h . | |
