Describes a plane. A plane is positioned in space with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax3 object), such that the plane is defined by the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of this coordinate system, which is the "local coordinate system" of the plane. The "main Direction" of the coordinate system is a vector normal to the plane. It gives the plane an implicit orientation such that the plane is said to be "direct", if the coordinate system is right-handed, or "indirect" in the other case. Note: when a gp_Pln plane is converted into a Geom_Plane plane, some implicit properties of its local coordinate system are used explicitly: More...

Detailed Description

Describes a plane. A plane is positioned in space with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax3 object), such that the plane is defined by the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of this coordinate system, which is the "local coordinate system" of the plane. The "main Direction" of the coordinate system is a vector normal to the plane. It gives the plane an implicit orientation such that the plane is said to be "direct", if the coordinate system is right-handed, or "indirect" in the other case. Note: when a gp_Pln plane is converted into a Geom_Plane plane, some implicit properties of its local coordinate system are used explicitly:

its origin defines the origin of the two parameters of the planar surface,
its implicit orientation is also that of the Geom_Plane. See Also gce_MakePln which provides functions for more complex plane constructions Geom_Plane which provides additional functions for constructing planes and works, in particular, with the parametric equations of planes
