matrix_from_parallel_projection

compas.geometry.matrix_from_parallel_projection(plane, direction)

Returns an parallel projection matrix to project onto a plane.

Parameters:

plane[point, normal] | compas.geometry.Plane

The plane to project onto.

direction[float, float, float] | compas.geometry.Vector

Direction of the projection.

Returns:

list[list[float]]

A 4-by-4 transformation matrix.

Examples

>>> point = [0, 0, 0]
>>> normal = [0, 0, 1]
>>> plane = (point, normal)
>>> direction = [1, 1, 1]
>>> P = matrix_from_parallel_projection(plane, direction)
