Plane Structure (Microsoft.DirectX)
Describes and manipulates a plane.
Definition
Visual Basic Public Structure Plane C# public struct Plane C++ public value class Plane sealed JScript In JScript, you can use structures, but you cannot define your own.
Members Table
The following table lists the members exposed by the object.
Fields
Field Description A Retrieves or sets the 'A' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation. B Retrieves or sets the 'B' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation. C Retrieves or sets the 'C' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation. D Retrieves or sets the 'D' coefficient of the clipping plane in the general plane equation. Methods
Method Description Dot Computes the dot product of a plane and a vector. DotNormal
Computes the dot product of a plane and a 3-D vector. The w parameter of the vector is assumed to be 0. Equals Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object. Constructs a plane from a point and a normal. Constructs a plane from three points. GetHashCode Returns the hash code for the current instance. Finds the intersection between a plane and a line. Normalize Returns the normal of a plane. Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same. Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different. Plane Initializes a new instance of the Plane class. Scale Scales the plane with a given scaling factor. ToString Obtains a string representation of the current instance. Transform Transforms a plane by a matrix. Properties
Property Description Retrieves an empty plane.
Remarks
The members of the Plane structure take the form of the general plane equation. They fit into the general plane equation so that
ax + by + cz + dw = 0.
