bestfit_plane_numpy

compas.geometry.bestfit_plane_numpy(points)

Fit a plane through more than three (non-coplanar) points.

Parameters:

pointsarray_like[point]

XYZ coordinates of the points.

Returns:

[float, float, float]

A point on the plane.

[float, float, float]

The normal vector.

Raises:

ValueError

If the number of points is smaller than the dimensionality of the points. At least two points are needed for two-dimensional data. At least three points are needed for three-dimensional data.
