Member Function Documentation

◆ operator()() [1/2]

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 \( a = b = c = 0\).

◆ operator()() [2/2]

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.
