Detailed Description

Defines a plane in 3D space.

Remarks:
A plane is defined in 3D space by the equation Ax + By + Cz + D = 0

This equates to a vector (the normal of the plane, whose x, y and z components equate to the coefficients A, B and C respectively), and a constant (D) which is the distance along the normal you have to go to move the plane back to the origin.


Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Ogre::Plane::Side
 

The "positive side" of the plane is the half space to which the plane normal points.

The "negative side" is the other half space. The flag "no side" indicates the plane itself.

Enumeration values:
NO_SIDE 
POSITIVE_SIDE 
NEGATIVE_SIDE 


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ogre::Plane::Plane  
 

Default constructor - sets everything to 0.

Member Function Documentation

Real Ogre::Plane::getDistance const Vector3   rkPoint const
 

This is a pseudodistance.

The sign of the return value is positive if the point is on the positive side of the plane, negative if the point is on the negative side, and zero if the point is on the plane.

The absolute value of the return value is the true distance only when the plane normal is a unit length vector.
