gce_MakePln Class Reference

This class implements the following algorithms used
to create a Pln from gp.
* Create a Pln parallel to another and passing
through a point.
* Create a Pln passing through 3 points.
* Create a Pln by its normal.
Defines a non-persistent plane.
The plane is located in 3D space with an axis placement
two axis. It is the local coordinate system of the plane.

The "Location" point and the main direction of this axis
placement define the "Axis" of the plane. It is the axis
normal to the plane which gives the orientation of the
plane.

The "XDirection" and the "YDirection" of the axis
placement define the plane ("XAxis" and "YAxis") .

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Ax2 &A2)
 The coordinate system of the plane is defined with the axis
placement A2.
The "Direction" of A2 defines the normal to the plane.
The "Location" of A2 defines the location (origin) of the plane.
The "XDirection" and "YDirection" of A2 define the "XAxis" and
the "YAxis" of the plane used to parametrize the plane.

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Pnt &P, const gp_Dir &V)
 Creates a plane with the "Location" point.
 gce_MakePln (const Standard_Real A, const Standard_Real B, const Standard_Real C, const Standard_Real D)
 Creates a plane from its cartesian equation :
A * X + B * Y + C * Z + D = 0.0
the status is "BadEquation" if Sqrt (A*A + B*B + C*C) <=
Resolution from gp.

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Pln &Pln, const gp_Pnt &Point)
 Make a Pln from gp <ThePln> parallel to another
Pln <Pln> and passing through a Pnt <Point>.

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Pln &Pln, const Standard_Real Dist)
 Make a Pln from gp <ThePln> parallel to another
Pln <Pln> at the distance <Dist> which can be greater
or less than zero.
In the first case the result is at the distance
<Dist> to the plane <Pln> in the direction of the
normal to <Pln>.
Otherwize it is in the opposite direction.

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Pnt &P1, const gp_Pnt &P2, const gp_Pnt &P3)
 Make a Pln from gp <ThePln> passing through 3
Pnt <P1>,<P2>,<P3>.
It returns false if <P1> <P2> <P3> are confused.

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Pnt &P1, const gp_Pnt &P2)
 Make a Pln from gp <ThePln> perpendicular to the line
passing through <P1>,<P2>.
The status is "ConfusedPoints" if <P1> <P2> are confused.

 gce_MakePln (const gp_Ax1 &Axis)
 Make a pln passing through the location of <Axis>and
normal to the Direction of <Axis>.
Warning - If an error occurs (that is, when IsDone returns
false), the Status function returns:

const gp_PlnValue () const
 Returns the constructed plane.
Exceptions StdFail_NotDone if no plane is constructed.

const gp_PlnOperator () const
 operator gp_Pln () const
