Distance of a point from the plane

Syntax

public double GetDistance( 
   Point3D Point
)

public:
double GetDistance( 
   Point3D Point
)

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetDistance( _
   ByVal Point As Point3D _
) As Double

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Plane3D
Dim Point As Point3D
Dim value As Double
 
value = instance.GetDistance(Point)

Parameters

Point: The point being measured from

Return Value

The distance

Remarks

This is a psuedo-distance. The sign of the return value is positive if the point is on the positive side of the plane, negative if the point is on the negative side, and zero if the point is on the plane. The absolute value of the return value is the true distance only when the plane normal is a unit length vector.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET CLR 4.0 or higher
