PointToPlaneDistance3D

Measures the distance between a 3D point and a plane.

Syntax

void avl::PointToPlaneDistance3D
(
	const avl::Point3D& inPoint3D,
	const avl::Plane3D& inPlane,
	float inResolution,
	float& outDistance,
	atl::Optional<avl::Segment3D&> outConnectingSegment3D = atl::NIL,
	atl::Optional<float&> outSignedDistance = atl::NIL
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
	inPoint3D	const Point3D&
	inPlane	const Plane3D&
	inResolution	float	0.0 -	1.0f	Number of real-world units per one pixel
	outDistance	float&
	outConnectingSegment3D	Optional<Segment3D&>		NIL
	outSignedDistance	Optional<float&>		NIL

Optional Outputs

The computation of following outputs can be switched off by passing value atl::NIL to these parameters: outConnectingSegment3D, outSignedDistance.
