Assembly: SphericalLib (in SphericalLib.dll) Version: 1.0.5951.32246 (1.0.0.0)

Syntax

C#
public bool GetXLine(
	Halfspace that,
	out Cartesian xdir,
	out Cartesian xpt
)
Visual C++
public:
bool GetXLine(
	Halfspace that, 
	[OutAttribute] Cartesian% xdir, 
	[OutAttribute] Cartesian% xpt
)
F#
member GetXLine : 
        that:Halfspace * 
        xdir:Cartesian byref * 
        xpt:Cartesian byref -> bool

Parameters

that
Type: Spherical..::..Halfspace
The halfspace of the other plane.
xdir
Type: Spherical..::..Cartesian%
The unit vector in the line. (Output)
xpt
Type: Spherical..::..Cartesian%
An arbitrary point on the line. (Out)

Return Value

The return value is 'false' if planes are parallel, 'true' otherwise.
