Function Documentation

GetBaryCentricCoordinates() [1/2]

bool ClosestPoint::GetBaryCentricCoordinates ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, float &  outU, float &  outV  )

inline

Compute barycentric coordinates of closest point to origin for infinite line defined by (inA, inB) Point can then be computed as inA * outU + inB * outV Returns false if the points inA, inB do not form a line (are at the same point)

GetBaryCentricCoordinates() [2/2]

bool ClosestPoint::GetBaryCentricCoordinates ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, Vec3Arg  inC, float &  outU, float &  outV, float &  outW  )

inline

Compute barycentric coordinates of closest point to origin for plane defined by (inA, inB, inC) Point can then be computed as inA * outU + inB * outV + inC * outW Returns false if the points inA, inB, inC do not form a plane (are on the same line or at the same point)

GetClosestPointOnLine()

Vec3 ClosestPoint::GetClosestPointOnLine ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, uint32 &  outSet  )

inline

Get the closest point to the origin of line (inA, inB) outSet describes which features are closest: 1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = line segment ab

GetClosestPointOnTetrahedron()

template<bool MustIncludeD = false>

Vec3 ClosestPoint::GetClosestPointOnTetrahedron ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, Vec3Arg  inC, Vec3Arg  inD, uint32 &  outSet  )

inline

Get the closest point between tetrahedron (inA, inB, inC, inD) to the origin outSet specifies which feature was closest, 1 = a, 2 = b, 4 = c, 8 = d. Edges have 2 bits set, triangles 3 and if the point is in the interior 4 bits are set. If MustIncludeD is true, the function assumes that D is part of the closest feature (vertex, edge, face, tetrahedron) and does less work, if the assumption is not true then a closest point to the other features is returned.

GetClosestPointOnTriangle()

template<bool MustIncludeC = false>

Vec3 ClosestPoint::GetClosestPointOnTriangle ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, Vec3Arg  inC, uint32 &  outSet  )

inline

Get the closest point to the origin of triangle (inA, inB, inC) outSet describes which features are closest: 1 = a, 2 = b, 4 = c, 5 = line segment ac, 7 = triangle interior etc. If MustIncludeC is true, the function assumes that C is part of the closest feature (vertex, edge, face) and does less work, if the assumption is not true then a closest point to the other features is returned.

OriginOutsideOfPlane()

bool ClosestPoint::OriginOutsideOfPlane ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, Vec3Arg  inC, Vec3Arg  inD  )

inline

Check if the origin is outside the plane of triangle (inA, inB, inC). inD specifies the front side of the plane.

OriginOutsideOfTetrahedronPlanes()

UVec4 ClosestPoint::OriginOutsideOfTetrahedronPlanes ( Vec3Arg  inA, Vec3Arg  inB, Vec3Arg  inC, Vec3Arg  inD  )

inline

Returns for each of the planes of the tetrahedron if the origin is inside it Roughly equivalent to: [OriginOutsideOfPlane(inA, inB, inC, inD), OriginOutsideOfPlane(inA, inC, inD, inB), OriginOutsideOfPlane(inA, inD, inB, inC), OriginOutsideOfPlane(inB, inD, inC, inA)]
