D3DXPlaneDotNormal function
Note
The D3DX utility library is deprecated. We recommend that you use DirectXMath instead.
Computes the dot product of a plane and a 3D vector. The w parameter of the vector is assumed to be 0.
Syntax
FLOAT D3DXPlaneDotNormal(
_In_ const D3DXPLANE *pP,
_In_ const D3DXVECTOR3 *pV
);
Parameters
-
pP [in]
-
Type: const D3DXPLANE*
Pointer to a source D3DXPLANE structure.
-
pV [in]
-
Type: const D3DXVECTOR3*
Pointer to a source D3DXVECTOR3 structure.
Return value
Type: FLOAT
The dot product of the plane and 3D vector.
Remarks
Given a plane (a, b, c, d) and a 3D vector (x, y, z) the return value of this function is a*x + b*y + c*z + d*0. The D3DXPlaneDotNormal function is useful for calculating the angle between the normal of the plane, and another normal.
