In elvanceyhan/pcds: Proximity Catch Digraphs and Their Applications

The plane at a point and parallel to the plane spanned by three distinct 3D points a, b, and c

Description

An object of class "Planes". Returns the equation and z-coordinates of the plane passing through point p and parallel to the plane spanned by three distinct 3D points a, b, and c with x- and y-coordinates are provided in vectors x and y, respectively.

Usage

paraplane(p, a, b, c, x, y)

Arguments

p	A 3D point which the plane parallel to the plane spanned by three distinct 3D points a, b, and c crosses.
a, b, c	3D points that determine the plane to which the plane crossing point p is parallel to.
x, y	Scalars or vectors of scalars representing the x- and y-coordinates of the plane parallel to the plane spanned by points a, b, and c and passing through point p.

Value

A list with the elements

desc	Description of the plane passing through point p and parallel to plane spanned by points a, b and c
points	The input points a, b, c, and p. Plane is parallel to the plane spanned by a, b, and c and passes through point p (stacked row-wise, i.e., row 1 is point a, row 2 is point b, row 3 is point c, and row 4 is point p).
x,y	The input vectors which constitutes the x- and y-coordinates of the point(s) of interest on the plane. x and y can be scalars or vectors of scalars.
z	The output vector which constitutes the z-coordinates of the point(s) of interest on the plane. If x and y are scalars, z will be a scalar and if x and y are vectors of scalars, then z needs to be a matrix of scalars, containing the z-coordinate for each pair of x and y values.
coeff	Coefficients of the plane (in the z = A x+B y+C form).
equation	Equation of the plane in long form
equation2	Equation of the plane in short form, to be inserted on the plot
