DESCRIPTION
| |
These routines do arithmetic on points and planes in affine or
projective 3-space. Type Point3 is
| |
typedef struct Point3 Point3;
struct Point3{
};
|
Routines whose names end in 3 operate on vectors or ordinary points
in affine 3-space, represented by their Euclidean (x,y,z) coordinates.
(They assume w=1 in their arguments, and set w=1 in their results.)
Name Description
add3 Add the coordinates of two points.
sub3 Subtract coordinates of two points.
neg3 Negate the coordinates of a point.
mul3 Multiply coordinates by a scalar.
div3 Divide coordinates by a scalar.
eqpt3 Test two points for exact equality.
closept3 Is the distance between two points smaller than eps?
dot3 Dot product.
cross3 Cross product.
len3 Distance to the origin.
dist3 Distance between two points.
unit3 A unit vector parallel to p.
midpt3 The midpoint of line segment pq.
lerp3 Linear interpolation between p and q.
reflect3 The reflection of point p in the segment joining p0 and
p1.
nearseg3 The closest point to testp on segment p0 p1.
pldist3 The distance from p to segment p0 p1.
vdiv3 Vector divide -- the length of the component of a parallel
to b, in units of the length of b.
vrem3 Vector remainder -- the component of a perpendicular to b.
Ignoring roundoff, we have eqpt3(add3(mul3(b, vdiv3(a, b)), vrem3(a,
b)), a).
The following routines convert amongst various representations
of points and planes. Planes are represented identically to points,
by duality; a point p is on a plane q whenever p.x*q.x+p.y*q.y+p.z*q.z+p.w*q.w=0.
Although when dealing with affine points we assume p.w=1, we can’t
make the same assumption for planes. The names of these
routines are extra-cryptic. They contain an f (for ‘face’) to
indicate a plane, p for a point and n for a normal vector. The
number 2 abbreviates the word ‘to.’ The number 3 reminds us, as
before, that we’re dealing with affine points. Thus pn2f3 takes
a point and a normal vector and returns the corresponding plane.
Name Description
pn2f3 Compute the plane passing through p with normal n.
ppp2f3 Compute the plane passing through three points.
fff2p3 Compute the intersection point of three planes.
The names of the following routines end in 4 because they operate
on points in projective 4-space, represented by their homogeneous
coordinates.
pdiv4 Perspective division. Divide p.w into p’s coordinates, converting
to affine coordinates. If p.w is zero, the result is the same
as the argument.
add4 Add the coordinates of two points.
sub4 Subtract the coordinates of two points.
