Struct Axis 

pub struct Axis<S: Scalar> {
    pub point: Vector3<S>,
    pub direction: Vector3<S>,
}

A straight line: through point, along the unit vector direction.

Fields

point: Vector3<S>

direction: Vector3<S>

Implementations

impl<S: Scalar> Axis<S>

pub fn try_new(point: Vector3<S>, direction: Vector3<S>) -> GeopResult<Self>

The line through point along direction, which need not be unit length but must not be zero.

pub fn project(&self, p: &Vector3<S>) -> Vector3<S>

The point of the line closest to p: the foot of the perpendicular from p.

pub fn could_contain(&self, p: &Vector3<S>) -> bool

Whether p could lie on the line.

pub fn could_be_parallel(&self, other: &Axis<S>) -> bool

Whether other could run parallel to this line, either way.

pub fn nearest(&self, other: &Axis<S>) -> GeopResult<Vector3<S>>

Where the two lines come closest: halfway between the point of each nearest the other — where they cross, if they do. Fails if they could be parallel: then every point is as near as any other.

Trait Implementations

impl<S: Clone + Scalar> Clone for Axis<S>

fn clone(&self) -> Axis<S>
