Plane

A plane defined by a normal vector and a distance from the origin.

The plane equation is defined as: dot(normal, point) + distance = 0. Used in collision tests, frustum culling, and geometry classification.

Properties

distance float

float distance { 0.0f }

The signed distance from the origin to the plane along the normal.

normal Vector3

Vector3 normal { Vector3::Up() }

The normal vector of the plane, pointing outward.

Functions

DistanceToPoint() auto

auto vglx::Plane::DistanceToPoint(const Vector3 &point) const

Parameter	Description
point	The point to measure.

Returns the signed distance from a point to the plane. Positive values mean the point is in front of the plane (in the direction of the normal), negative values mean it's behind.

DistanceToSphere() auto

auto vglx::Plane::DistanceToSphere(const Sphere &sphere) const

Parameter	Description
sphere	The sphere to measure.

Returns the signed distance from a sphere to the plane. A negative result means the sphere intersects or is behind the plane.

Normalize() auto

auto vglx::Plane::Normalize()

Normalizes the plane equation. Ensures the normal is unit length and adjusts the distance accordingly.

Plane() constexpr

vglx::Plane::Plane(const Vector3 &normal, float distance)

Parameter	Description
normal	Normal vector of the plane.
distance	Signed distance from the origin.

Constructs a Plane from a normal vector and distance.
