Detailed Description

Calculates intersections of a line with a plane.

Member Typedef Documentation

using StraightLinePlaneCrossing::DirectionType = Basic3DVector<float>

Definition at line 22 of file StraightLinePlaneCrossing.h.

using StraightLinePlaneCrossing::PositionType = Basic3DVector<float>

The types for position and direction are frame-neutral (not global, local, etc.) so this interface can be used in any frame. Of course, the helix and the plane must be defined in the same frame, which is also the frame of the result.
