{ pub origin: S, pub direction: Unit<<S as EuclideanSpace>::CoordinateSpace>, }
Expand description

Line.

Describes a line containing an origin point and a direction. Lines extend infinitely from their origin along their direction $\hat{u}$. Unlike Ray, the direction component of Line extends in both the positive and negative.

This representation is typically known as the vector form $P_0 + t\hat{u}$ where $t$ is some non-zero time of impact.

Fields

origin: S

The origin or contained point of the line.

direction: Unit<<S as EuclideanSpace>::CoordinateSpace>

The unit direction(s) in which the line extends from its origin.

Intersection of lines in two dimensions.

Symmetrical intersection.

Intersection of a line and a plane.

The time of impact of a point intersection or the line if it lies within the plane.

The time of impact $t$ describes the distance from the line’s origin point at which the intersection occurs.

Determines if a line intersects a plane at a point or lies within the plane. Computes the time of impact of a Line for a point intersection.

Given a line formed from an origin $P_0$ and a unit direction $\hat{u}$, the point of intersection with the plane is $P_0 + t\hat{u}$.
