#[repr(C)]
pub struct Line<const D: usize> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An n-dimensional line, defined by an origin and a direction

The dimensionality of the line is defined by the const generic D parameter.

Implementations§

Create a line from a point and a vector

Panics

Panics, if direction has a length of zero.

Create a line from two points

Panics

Panics, if the points are coincident.

Create a line from two points that include line coordinates

Panics

Panics, if the points are coincident.

Access the origin of the line

The origin is a point on the line which, together with the direction field, defines the line fully. The origin also defines the origin of the line’s 1-dimensional coordinate system.

Access the direction of the line

The length of this vector defines the unit of the line’s curve coordinate system. The coordinate 1. is always were the direction vector points, from origin.

Determine if this line is coincident with another line

Implementation Note

This method only returns true, if the lines are precisely coincident. This will probably not be enough going forward, but it’ll do for now.

Create a new instance that is reversed

Convert a D-dimensional point to line coordinates

Projects the point onto the line before the conversion. This is done to make this method robust against floating point accuracy issues.

Callers are advised to be careful about the points they pass, as the point not being on the line, intentional or not, will never result in an error.

Convert a D-dimensional vector to line coordinates

Convert a point in line coordinates into a D-dimensional point

Convert a vector in line coordinates into a D-dimensional vector
