Class PlaneRef

A reference to a plane. The Plane is implemented as a struct, i.e. a value type. Sometimes it is necessary to have a parameter or member, which designates a plane but may be null (when the plane is not yet computed or not valid). This class works as an object replacement of the struct Plane.

Syntax

public class PlaneRef

Constructors

PlaneRef(Plane)

Standard and only constructor, wrapping the given Plane.

Declaration

public PlaneRef(Plane p)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Plane	p	The Plane to wrap

Methods

FindCommonPlane(GeoPoint[], out Plane)

Yields a common plane of the cloud of points, if there is one. If there is no common plane the result may be not optimal (residual is not minimal)

Declaration

public static bool FindCommonPlane(GeoPoint[] Cloud, out Plane commonPlane)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
GeoPoint[]	Cloud	the cloud of points
Plane	commonPlane

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	the plane, may be null

Operators

Implicit(Plane to PlaneRef)

Operator to seamlessly use a Plane as a PlaneRef

Declaration

public static implicit operator PlaneRef(Plane p)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Plane	p

Returns

Type	Description
PlaneRef	The resulting PlaneRef

Implicit(PlaneRef to Plane)

Operator to seamlessly use a PlaneRef as a Plane

Declaration

public static implicit operator Plane(PlaneRef pr)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
PlaneRef	pr	The PlaneRef to convert

Returns

Type	Description
Plane	The resulting Plane
