Plane Structure

Language:

Describes and manipulates a plane.

The following table lists the members exposed by the object. Click a tab on the left to choose the type of member you want to view.

Fields

Field Description

A Retrieves or sets the 'A' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.

B Retrieves or sets the 'B' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.

C Retrieves or sets the 'C' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.

D Retrieves or sets the 'D' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.

Methods

Method Description

Dot Computes the dot product of a plane and a vector.

DotNormal Computes the dot product of a plane and a 3-D vector. The w parameter of the vector is assumed to be 0.

Equals Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object.

FromPointNormal Constructs a plane from a point and a normal.

FromPoints Constructs a plane from three points.

GetHashCode Returns the hash code for the current instance.

IntersectLine Finds the intersection between a plane and a line.

Normalize Returns the normal of a plane.

op_Equality Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same.

op_Inequality Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different.

Plane Initializes a new instance of the Plane class.

Scale Scales the plane with a given scaling factor.

ToString Obtains a string representation of the current instance.

Transform Transforms a plane by a matrix.

Properties

Property Description

Empty Retrieves an empty plane.

Field	Description
A	Retrieves or sets the 'A' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.
B	Retrieves or sets the 'B' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.
C	Retrieves or sets the 'C' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.
D	Retrieves or sets the 'D' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation.

Method	Description
Dot	Computes the dot product of a plane and a vector.
DotNormal	Computes the dot product of a plane and a 3-D vector. The w parameter of the vector is assumed to be 0.
Equals	Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object.
FromPointNormal	Constructs a plane from a point and a normal.
FromPoints	Constructs a plane from three points.
GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for the current instance.
IntersectLine	Finds the intersection between a plane and a line.
Normalize	Returns the normal of a plane.
op_Equality	Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same.
op_Inequality	Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different.
Plane	Initializes a new instance of the Plane class.
Scale	Scales the plane with a given scaling factor.
ToString	Obtains a string representation of the current instance.
Transform	Transforms a plane by a matrix.

Property	Description
Empty	Retrieves an empty plane.

Remarks

The members of the Plane structure take the form of the general plane equation. They fit into the general plane equation so that ax + by + cz + dw = 0.
