LineSegment3d Class

A LineSegment3d is:

  • A 3d line segment represented by its start and end coordinates
    • startPoint
    • endPoint
  • The segment is parameterized with fraction 0 at the start and fraction 1 at the end, i.e. either of these equivalent forms to map fraction f to a point X(f)
    X(f)=P0+f(P1P0)X(f)=(1f)P0+fP0X(f) = P_0 + f * (P_1 - P_0)\newline
     X(f) = (1-f)*P_0  + f * P_0
