Struct Plane 

pub struct Plane { /* private fields */ }

A plane in mesh-local coordinates, with an orthonormal 2D frame (u, v) in it. The frame is right-handed: normal = u × v.

The signed distance of a point p is n·p − n·origin, in f64; points with a signed distance of zero or more are on the plane’s + side. So a point exactly in the plane counts as +, and flipping the normal is not always the same cut: a mesh face lying in the plane is cut with one sign of the normal and not the other (see slice).

Implementations

impl Plane

pub fn new(origin: [f64; 3], normal: [f64; 3]) -> Result<Plane>

The plane through origin with normal normal, which is normalised.

The frame is the default one: u is the world axis least parallel to the normal (the first such axis on ties), made orthogonal to it and normalised, and v = normal × u. It changes only when the normal changes which axis that is.

Errors

QueryError::InvalidInput when origin is not finite, or normal is zero or not finite.

pub fn with_axes(origin: [f64; 3], u: [f64; 3], v: [f64; 3]) -> Result<Plane>

The plane through origin spanned by the frame (u, v), with normal u × v (normalised). The axes are kept as given.

Errors

QueryError::InvalidInput when an argument is not finite, or the axes are not orthonormal within 1e-6 (unit length and orthogonal).

pub fn origin(&self) -> [f64; 3]

The point the plane was given through, origin of the 2D frame.

pub fn normal(&self) -> [f64; 3]

The unit normal, pointing to the + side.

pub fn u(&self) -> [f64; 3]

The first axis of the 2D frame.

pub fn v(&self) -> [f64; 3]

The second axis of the 2D frame.

pub fn signed_distance(&self, p: [f64; 3]) -> f64

The signed distance n·p − n·origin of p from the plane: positive on the side the normal points to.

pub fn to_uv(&self, p: [f64; 3]) -> [f64; 2]

The 2D coordinates ((p − origin)·u, (p − origin)·v) of p, which is projected onto the plane along the normal.

pub fn from_uv(&self, q: [f64; 2]) -> [f64; 3]

The point of the plane with 2D coordinates q: origin + q₀·u + q₁·v.
