Plane3dByOriginAndVectors Class

A Point3dVector3dVector3d is an origin and a pair of vectors. This defines a plane with a (possibly skewed) uv coordinate grid

  • The grid directions (vectorU and vectorV)
    • are NOT required to be unit vectors.
    • are NOT required to be perpendicular vectors.
