Plane
- class compas.geometry.Plane(point, normal)[source]
Bases:
compas.geometry.primitives._primitive.Primitive
A plane is defined by a base point and a normal vector.
- Parameters
point (point) – The base point of the plane.
normal (vector) – The normal vector of the plane.
- Attributes
data (dict) – The data representation of the plane.
point (
compas.geometry.Point
) – The base point of the plane.normal (
compas.geometry.Vector
) – The normal of the plane.d (float, read-only) – The d parameter of the equation describing the plane.
Examples
>>> plane = Plane([0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]) >>> plane.point Point(0.000, 0.000, 0.000) >>> plane.normal Vector(0.000, 0.000, 1.000)
