Detailed Description

A plane in 3D space.

Warning:

Surfaces are reference counted, so only ReferenceCountingPointer should be used to point to them. For this reason, they should be using the static build() method. (The normal constructor will become private in the future).

static PlanePointer Plane::build	(	const PositionType &	pos,
		const RotationType &	rot,
		MediumProperties *	mp = 0
