Libraries.Compute.Plane

This class represents a plane. A plane is defined as a unit length normal and the distance from the origin.

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action returns the shortest distance from the plane and the passed point.

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action returns the distance of the plane from the origin.

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

This action returns the normal vector of the plane.

This action determines whether the plane is facing the passed direction vector. The direction vector can be thought of as the direction a camera looks in. The plane is front facing (and the action will return true) if the front side of the plane determined by the normal vector faces the camera.

This action sets the plane's normal vector and distance form the origin.

This action sets the plane using the normal vector and distance from the origin from the passed Plane object.

This action sets the plane based on the passed normal vector and a point on the plane.

This action sets the plane with the given normal vector from the passed x, y, and z components and the passed distance from the origin.

This action sets the plane given the three passed points that are on the plane. The normal vector of the plane is calculated as the cross-product between (point1 - point2) x (point2 - point3).

This action returns which side the given point lies relative to the plane and its normal. "OnPlane" is returned if the point lies on the plane. "Front" is the side of the plane to which the normal points. "Back" is the side of the plane that is not the front.

This action returns which side the given point lies relative to the plane and its normal. "OnPlane" is returned if the point lies on the plane. "Front" is the side of the plane to which the normal points. "Back" is the side of the plane that is not the front.
