D3DXPlaneDotNormal

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

FLOAT D3DXPlaneDotNormal(
  CONST D3DXPLANE* pP,
  CONST D3DXVECTOR3* pV
); 

Parameters

pP

[in] Pointer to a source D3DXPLANE structure.

pV

[in] Pointer to a source D3DXVECTOR3 structure.

Return Values

The dot-product of the plane and 3-D vector.

Remarks

Given a plane (a, b, c, d) and a 3-D vector (x, y, z) the return value of this function is a*x + b*y + c*z + d*0. The D3DXPlaneDotNormal function is useful for calculating the angle between the normal of the plane, and another normal.

Requirements

  Header: Declared in D3dx8math.h.
  Import Library: Use D3dx8.lib.
