Detailed Description

Simple implementation of lines in 3D.

A line is defined by a direction and any point on the line. Internally, Plucker coordinates are used, where the line is defined by a direction and an orthogonal moment about the origin whose magnitude is the distance from the origin. See geometric primitives for more information.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IMP::algebra::Line3D::Line3D

(

const algebra::Segment3D &

s

)

Create line along segment.

Member Function Documentation

const Vector3D& IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_direction

(

)

const

Get the unit vector in the direction of the line.

Definition at line 38 of file Line3D.h.

Vector3D IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_moment

(

)

const

Get the moment of the line about the origin.

Definition at line 44 of file Line3D.h.

Vector3D IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_moment

(

const Vector3D &

v

const

Get the moment of the line about a point.

Definition at line 47 of file Line3D.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Line3D IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_opposite

(

)

const

Get the line in the opposite direction.

Definition at line 55 of file Line3D.h.

Vector3D IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_point_on_line

(

)

const

Get the point on the line closest to the origin.

Definition at line 41 of file Line3D.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

double IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_reciprocal_product

(

const Line3D &

l

)

const

Get reciprocal (or virtual) product, the moment of either line about the other.

algebra::Segment3D IMP::algebra::Line3D::get_segment_starting_at	(	const Vector3D &	v,
		double	d
	)		const

Get segment of a given length starting at a point.

Note

The point is not assumed to be on the line and is therefore projected onto the line to construct the segment.
