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

◆ 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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Plane() [1/5]

Ogre::Plane::Plane ( )
inline

Default constructor - sets everything to 0.

◆ Plane() [2/5]

Ogre::Plane::Plane ( const Vector3 rkNormal,
Real  fConstant 
)
inline

Construct a plane through a normal, and a distance to move the plane along the normal.

◆ Plane() [3/5]

Ogre::Plane::Plane ( Real  a,
Real  b,
Real  c,
Real  _d 
)
inline

Construct a plane using the 4 constants directly.

◆ Plane() [4/5]

Ogre::Plane::Plane ( const Vector3 rkNormal,
const Vector3 rkPoint 
)
inline

◆ Plane() [5/5]

Ogre::Plane::Plane ( const Vector3 p0,
const Vector3 p1,
const Vector3 p2 
)
inline

Member Function Documentation

◆ getDistance()

Real Ogre::Plane::getDistance ( const Vector3 rkPoint) const
inline

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.

◆ getSide() [1/3]

Side Ogre::Plane::getSide ( const AxisAlignedBox rkBox) const

Returns the side where the alignedBox is.

The flag BOTH_SIDE indicates an intersecting box. One corner ON the plane is sufficient to consider the box and the plane intersecting.

◆ getSide() [2/3]

Side Ogre::Plane::getSide ( const Vector3 centre,
const Vector3 halfSize 
) const

Returns which side of the plane that the given box lies on.

The box is defined as centre/half-size pairs for effectively.

Parameters
centreThe centre of the box.
halfSizeThe half-size of the box.
Returns
POSITIVE_SIDE if the box complete lies on the "positive side" of the plane, NEGATIVE_SIDE if the box complete lies on the "negative side" of the plane, and BOTH_SIDE if the box intersects the plane.

◆ getSide() [3/3]

Side Ogre::Plane::getSide ( const Vector3 rkPoint) const
inline

◆ normalise()

Real Ogre::Plane::normalise ( )

Normalises the plane.

Remarks
This method normalises the plane's normal and the length scale of d is as well.
Note
This function will not crash for zero-sized vectors, but there will be no changes made to their components.
Returns
The previous length of the plane's normal.

◆ operator!=()

bool Ogre::Plane::operator!= ( const Plane rhs) const
inline

References d, and normal.

◆ operator-()

Plane Ogre::Plane::operator- ( ) const
inline

Get flipped plane, with same location but reverted orientation.

References Ogre::Vector3::x, Ogre::Vector3::y, and Ogre::Vector3::z.

◆ operator==()

bool Ogre::Plane::operator== ( const Plane rhs) const
inline

Comparison operator.

References d, and normal.

◆ projectVector()

Vector3 Ogre::Plane::projectVector ( const Vector3 v) const

Project a vector onto the plane.

Remarks
This gives you the element of the input vector that is perpendicular to the normal of the plane. You can get the element which is parallel to the normal of the plane by subtracting the result of this method from the original vector, since parallel + perpendicular = original.
Parameters
vThe input vector

◆ redefine() [1/2]

void Ogre::Plane::redefine ( const Vector3 p0,
const Vector3 p1,
const Vector3 p2 
)
inline

Redefine this plane based on 3 points.

References Ogre::Vector3::dotProduct(), and Ogre::Vector3::normalisedCopy().

◆ redefine() [2/2]

void Ogre::Plane::redefine ( const Vector3 rkNormal,
const Vector3 rkPoint 
)
inline

Redefine this plane based on a normal and a point.

References Ogre::Vector3::dotProduct().
