Function Documentation

GLUSAPI GLUSvoid GLUSAPIENTRY glusPlaneCopyf	(	GLUSfloat	result[4],
		const GLUSfloat	plane[4]
	)

Copies a plane.

Parameters

result	Destination plane.
plane	Source plane.

GLUSAPI GLUSvoid GLUSAPIENTRY glusPlaneCreatef	(	GLUSfloat	result[4],
		const GLUSfloat	point[4],
		const GLUSfloat	normal[3]
	)

Creates a plane.

The formula is Ax + By + Cz + D = 0, where A,B,C and D are stored in the resulting array.

Parameters

result	The calculated plane.
point	Any point on the plane.
normal	The normal vector of the plane. The vector will be normalized during calculation.

GLUSAPI GLUSfloat GLUSAPIENTRY glusPlaneDistancePoint4f	(	const GLUSfloat	plane[4],
		const GLUSfloat	point[4]
	)

Calculates the signed distance from a plane to a point.

If the value is positive, the point is on the side the normal is directing to.

Parameters

plane	The used plane.
point	The used point.

Returns

The signed distance.

GLUSAPI GLUSvoid GLUSAPIENTRY glusPlaneGetPoint4f	(	GLUSfloat	point[4],
		const GLUSfloat	plane[4]
	)

Calculates a point on the given plane, located around the origin.

Parameters

point	The resulting point.
plane	The used plane.
