Constructor Detail

Planed

public Planed()

Constructs a new plane with all values set to 0

Planed

public Planed(Vector3d normal,
              double d)

Constructs a new plane based on the normal and distance to the origin.

Parameters:

normal - The plane normal

d - The distance to the origin

Planed

public Planed(Vector3d normal,
              Vector3d point)

Constructs a new plane based on the normal and a point on the plane.

Parameters:

normal - The normal

point - The point on the plane

Planed

public Planed(Vector3d point1,
              Vector3d point2,
              Vector3d point3)

Constructs a new plane out of the three given points that are considered to be on the plane. The normal is calculated via a cross product between (point1-point2)x(point2-point3)

Parameters:

point1 - The first point

point2 - The second point

point3 - The third point

Method Detail

set

public void set(Vector3d point1,
                Vector3d point2,
                Vector3d point3)

Sets the plane normal and distance to the origin based on the three given points which are considered to be on the plane. The normal is calculated via a cross product between (point1-point2)x(point2-point3)

Parameters:

point1 -

point2 -

point3 -

set

public void set(double nx,
                double ny,
                double nz,
                double d)

Sets the plane normal and distance

Parameters:

nx - normal x-component

ny - normal y-component

nz - normal z-component

d - distance to origin

distance

public double distance(Vector3d point)

Calculates the shortest signed distance between the plane and the given point.

Parameters:

point - The point

Returns:

the shortest signed distance between the plane and the point

testPoint

public Planed.PlaneSide testPoint(Vector3d point)

Returns on which side the given point lies relative to the plane and its normal. PlaneSide.Front refers to the side the plane normal points to.

Parameters:

point - The point

Returns:

The side the point lies relative to the plane

testPoint

public Planed.PlaneSide testPoint(double x,
                                  double y,
                                  double z)

Returns on which side the given point lies relative to the plane and its normal. PlaneSide.Front refers to the side the plane normal points to.

Parameters:

x -

y -

z -

Returns:

The side the point lies relative to the plane

isFrontFacing

public boolean isFrontFacing(Vector3d direction)

Returns whether the plane is facing the direction vector. Think of the direction vector as the direction a camera looks in. This method will return true if the front side of the plane determined by its normal faces the camera.

Parameters:

direction - the direction

Returns:

whether the plane is front facing

getNormal

public Vector3d getNormal()

Returns:

The normal

getD

public double getD()

Returns:

The distance to the origin

set

public void set(Vector3d point,
                Vector3d normal)

Sets the plane to the given point and normal.

Parameters:

point - the point on the plane

normal - the normal of the plane

set

public void set(double pointX,
                double pointY,
                double pointZ,
                double norX,
                double norY,
                double norZ)

set

public void set(Planed plane)

Sets this plane from the given plane

Parameters:

plane - the plane

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
