BoundingPlane

Debug node that renders a bounding plane.

BoundingPlane is a visual helper used to display an infinite mathematical plane as a finite square region in the scene. This is particularly useful for visualizing clipping planes, frustum culling boundaries, or geometry intersections during debugging.

The plane is rendered as a flat square centered around the origin of the plane, oriented using the plane’s normal vector, and scaled based on the specified size.

auto plane = vglx::Plane {Vector3::Forward(), 0.0f};
auto bounds = vglx::BoundingPlane::Create(plane, 2, 0xFF0000);
scene->Add(bounds);
