PlaneD3D Structure

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

Syntax

Copy

public struct PlaneD3D : IEqualityComparer<PlaneD3D>

The PlaneD3D type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	PlaneD3D	Initializes a new instance of the PlaneD3D struct.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Empty	Gets an empty plane (all components zero).
	Normal	Gets the normal vector of the plane.
	Normalized	Gets the normalized plane (normal vector length 1).
	W	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.
	X	Gets the x component of the plane's normal.
	Y	Gets the y component of the plane's normal.
	Z	Gets the z component of the plane's normal.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object)	Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Overrides ValueTypeEquals(Object))
	Equals(PlaneD3D, PlaneD3D)	Determines whether the specified objects are equal.
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueTypeGetHashCode)
	GetHashCode(PlaneD3D)	Returns a hash code for the specified object.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	ToString	Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType)

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.
