Parameters

  • a ([float, float] or [float, float, float] | Point) – XY(Z) coordinates of a 2D or 3D point (Z will be ignored).

  • b ([float, float] or [float, float, float] | Point) – XY(Z) coordinates of a 2D or 3D point (Z will be ignored).

  • c ([float, float] or [float, float, float] | Point) – XY(Z) coordinates of a 2D or 3D point (Z will be ignored).
