Plane Class (Microsoft.DirectX)

Describes and manipulates a plane.

Note: For programming in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft JScript .NET, use the methods of the Microsoft.DirectX.Plane structure.

Members Table

The following table lists the members exposed by the object.

Methods

Method	Description
Dot	Computes the dot product of a plane and a vector. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
DotCoordinate	Computes the dot product of a plane and a 3-D vector. The w parameter of the vector is assumed to be 1. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
DotNormal	Computes the dot product of a plane and a 3-D vector. The w parameter of the vector is assumed to be 0. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
FromPointNormal	Constructs a plane from a point and a normal. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
FromPoints	Constructs a plane from three points. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
IntersectLine	Finds the intersection between a plane and a line. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Normalize	Returns the normal of a plane. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Scale	Scales the plane with a given scaling factor. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
Transform	Transforms a plane by a matrix. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
TransformArray	Transforms an array of planes by a matrix. The vectors that describe each plane must be normalized. Note: For programming in Visual Basic .NET or JScript .NET, use the equivalent method in the Microsoft.DirectX structures.
