The line crossing the 3D point p and parallel to line joining 3D points a and b

Description

An object of class "Lines3D". Returns the equation, x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the line crossing 3D point p and parallel to the line joining 3D points a and b (i.e., the line is in the direction of vector b-a) with the parameter t being provided in vector t.

Usage

paraline3D(p, a, b, t)

Arguments

p	A 3D point through which the straight line passes.
a, b	3D points which determine the straight line to which the line passing through point p would be parallel (i.e., b-a determines the direction of the straight line passing through p).
t	A scalar or a vector of scalars representing the parameter of the coordinates of the line (for the form: x=p_0 + A t, y=y_0 + B t, and z=z_0 + C t where p=(p_0,y_0,z_0) and b-a=(A,B,C)).

Value

A list with the elements

desc	A description of the line
mtitle	The "main" title for the plot of the line
points	The input points that determine the line to which the line crossing point p would be parallel.
pnames	The names of the input points that determine the line to which the line crossing point p would be parallel.
vecs	The points p, a, and b stacked row-wise in this order.
vec.names	The names of the points p, a, and b.
x,y,z	The x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the point(s) of interest on the line parallel to the line determined by points a and b.
tsq	The scalar or the vector of the parameter in defining each coordinate of the line for the form: x=p_0 + A t, y=y_0 + B t, and z=z_0 + C t where p=(p_0,y_0,z_0) and b-a=(A,B,C).
equation	Equation of the line passing through point p and parallel to the line joining points a and b (i.e., in the direction of the vector b-a). The line equation is in the form: x=p_0 + A t, y=y_0 + B t, and z=z_0 + C t where p=(p_0,y_0,z_0) and b-a=(A,B,C).
