Interface Plane

  • All Known Subinterfaces:
    MPlane
    public interface Plane
    Interface for handling planes in 3d. A plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far. Plane is defined by a point on the plane and the planes normal vector.

      • create

        static Plane create​(Vector3d pointOnPlane,
                    Vector3d planeNormal)
        Returns the plane defined by the given points.
        Parameters:
        pointOnPlane - an arbitrary point on the plane
        planeNormal - the normal of the plane
        Returns:
        the plane defined by the given points

      • getPoint

        Vector3d getPoint()
        Returns a point on the plane used to define the plane.
        Returns:
        the plane point
        Since:
        9.10.2

      • getNormal

        Vector3d getNormal()
        Returns the normal of the plane. The vector is of unit length.
        Returns:
        the normal of the plane

      • distanceSquared

        double distanceSquared​(Vector3d point)
        Calculates the distance of this plane from the given point squared.
        Parameters:
        point - the point
        Returns:
        the distance squared
        Since:
        9.10.2

      • distance

        double distance​(Vector3d point)
        Calculates the distance of this plane from the given point.
        Parameters:
        point - the point
        Returns:
        the distance
        Since:
        9.10.2

      • signedDistance

        double signedDistance​(Vector3d point)
        Calculates the signed distance of this plane from the given point. The sign tells which side of the plane the given point is on. If the sign is positive, the point is on the side that the normal vector is pointing towards, otherwise the point is on the "backside" on the plane.
        Parameters:
        point - the point
        Returns:
        the distance
        Since:
        9.10.2

      • signedDistance

        Optional<Double> signedDistance​(Vector3d point,
                                Vector3d direction)
        Calculates the signed distance of this plane from the given point with some direction vector. If the sign is positive, to get from the point to the plane, the travel goes to the positive direction according to the direction vector, otherwise the negative direction. The sign tells which side of the plane the given point is on. If the direction vector would never reach the plane, the resulting Optional is empty.
        Parameters:
        point - the point
        direction - the direction
        Returns:
        the distance
        Since:

      • contains

        boolean contains​(Vector3d point,
                 double tolerance)
        Checks if the distance of the given point for this plane is less than the given tolerance. This can be used to test if a point is on the plane by making epsilon zero or reasonably small.
        Parameters:
        point - the point
        tolerance - the tolerance
        Returns:
        true if the given point is on the plane, false otherwise

      • project

        MVector3d project​(Vector3d point)
        Projects the given point onto this plane performing an orthogonal projection.
        Parameters:
        point - the point
        Returns:
        the projected point

      • project

        Optional<MVector3d> project​(Vector3d point,
                            Vector3d direction)
        Projects the given point onto this plane in the direction of the given direction vector. If the direction vector makes it impossible to project the point, an empty Optional is returned.
        Parameters:
        point - the point that is project onto this plane
        direction - the direction of the projecting
        Returns:
        the projected point

      • intersect

        Optional<MLine3d> intersect​(Plane plane)
        Calculates the intersection between this plane and the given plane and returns the resulting line. If the planes do not intersect or are equal, the resulting Optional will be empty.
        Parameters:
        plane - the other plane
        Returns:
        the resulting line

      • dihedralAngle

        double dihedralAngle​(Plane plane)
        Calculates the dihedral angle between this plane and the given plane.
        Parameters:
        plane - the other plane
