PlaneD3D Structure

Represents a plane in 3d space. For the definition how it works as a clipping plane see the example below.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyStatic memberEmpty 
Public propertyNormal 
Public propertyNormalized 
Public propertyW Gets the distance of the plane to the origin (0,0,0). If the plane's normal vector is not normalized, this is the distance in units of the plane's normal.
Public propertyX Gets the x component of the plane's normal.
Public propertyY Gets the y component of the plane's normal.
Public propertyZ Gets the z component of the plane's normal.

Example
Lets assume the normal vector (x,y,z) of the clipping plane is (1,0,0), i.e. points in x-direction, and the w component is -200. Then everything that is left of the point x=+200 is clipped (i.e. every point with x<+200), and thus everything right (with x>+200) is visible.
