Index

Constructors

constructor

  • new Plane(a: number, b: number, c: number, d: number): Plane
  • Creates a Plane object according to the given floats a, b, c, d and the plane equation : ax + by + cz + d = 0

    Parameters

      d component of the plane

    Returns Plane

Properties

d

d: number

d component of the plane

normal

normal: Vector3

Normal of the plane (a,b,c)

Methods

asArray

  • asArray(): number[]
  • Returns number[]

    the plane coordinates as a new array of 4 elements [a, b, c, d].

clone

  • Returns Plane

    a new plane copied from the current Plane.

copyFromPoints

  • Updates the current Plane from the plane defined by the three given points.

    Parameters

    • point1: Vector3

      one of the points used to contruct the plane

    • point2: Vector3

      one of the points used to contruct the plane

    • point3: Vector3

      one of the points used to contruct the plane

    Returns Plane

    the updated Plane.

dotCoordinate

  • dotCoordinate(point: Vector3): number
  • Calcualtte the dot product between the point and the plane normal

    Parameters

    • point: Vector3

      point to calculate the dot product with

    Returns number

    the dot product (float) of the point coordinates and the plane normal.

getClassName

  • getClassName(): string
  • Returns string

    the string "Plane".

getHashCode

  • getHashCode(): number
  • Returns number

    the Plane hash code.

isFrontFacingTo

  • isFrontFacingTo(direction: Vector3, epsilon: number): boolean
  • Checks if the plane is facing a given direction

    Parameters

    • direction: Vector3

      the direction to check if the plane is facing

    • epsilon: number

      value the dot product is compared against (returns true if dot <= epsilon)

    Returns boolean

    True is the vector "direction" is the same side than the plane normal.

normalize

  • Normalize the current Plane in place.

    Returns Plane

    the updated Plane.

signedDistanceTo

  • signedDistanceTo(point: Vector3): number
  • Calculates the distance to a point

    Parameters

    • point: Vector3

      point to calculate distance to

    Returns number

    the signed distance (float) from the given point to the Plane.

transform

  • Applies a transformation the plane and returns the result

    Parameters

    • transformation: Matrix

      the transformation matrix to be applied to the plane

    Returns Plane

    a new Plane as the result of the transformation of the current Plane by the given matrix.

Static FromArray

  • FromArray(array: ArrayLike<number>): Plane
  • Creates a plane from an array

    Parameters

    • array: ArrayLike<number>

      the array to create a plane from

    Returns Plane

    a new Plane from the given array.

Static FromPoints
