Creating a Plane

Calling Sequence

plane3 (< normal>, <point>)

Description
This function returns the coefficients of the equation of a plane as a vector of length four. This is the form of a plane argument as expected by the slicing functions. <normal> is a vector of length three giving the direction numbers of the normal to the plane; <point> is a vector of length three giving the coordinates of a point in the plane.
