Class Plane

java.lang.Object
  net.java.joglutils.msg.math.Plane

public class Plane
extends Object

Represents a plane in 3D space.

Constructor Summary

Plane()
Default constructor initializes normal to (0, 1, 0) and point to (0, 0, 0)

Plane(Vec3f normal, Vec3f point)
Sets all parameters of plane.

Method Summary

Vec3f	getNormal() Normal is normalized internally, so normal is not necessarily equal to plane.setNormal(normal); plane.getNormal();
Vec3f	getPoint()
boolean	intersectRay(Vec3f rayStart, Vec3f rayDirection, IntersectionPoint intPt) Intersect a ray with the plane.
void	projectPoint(Vec3f pt, Vec3f projPt) Project a point onto the plane
void	setNormal(Vec3f normal) Setter does some work to maintain internal caches.
void	setPoint(Vec3f point) Setter does some work to maintain internal caches

Constructor Detail

Plane

public Plane()

Default constructor initializes normal to (0, 1, 0) and point to (0, 0, 0)

Plane

public Plane(Vec3f normal,
             Vec3f point)

Sets all parameters of plane. Plane has normal normal and goes through the point point. Normal does not need to be unit length but must not be the zero vector.

Method Detail

setNormal

public void setNormal(Vec3f normal)

Setter does some work to maintain internal caches. Normal does not need to be unit length but must not be the zero vector.

getNormal

public Vec3f getNormal()

Normal is normalized internally, so normal is not necessarily equal to plane.setNormal(normal); plane.getNormal();

setPoint

public void setPoint(Vec3f point)

Setter does some work to maintain internal caches

getPoint

public Vec3f getPoint()

projectPoint

public void projectPoint(Vec3f pt,
                         Vec3f projPt)

Project a point onto the plane

intersectRay

public boolean intersectRay(Vec3f rayStart,
                            Vec3f rayDirection,
                            IntersectionPoint intPt)

Intersect a ray with the plane. Returns true if intersection occurred, false otherwise. This is a two-sided ray cast.
