	BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane (const TopoDS_Shape &S, const Standard_Real Tol=-1)
	Constructs the plane containing the edges of the shape S. A plane is built only if all the edges are within a distance of less than or equal to tolerance from a planar surface. This tolerance value is equal to the larger of the following two values:
void	Init (const TopoDS_Shape &S, const Standard_Real Tol=-1)
	Constructs the plane containing the edges of the shape S. A plane is built only if all the edges are within a distance of less than or equal to tolerance from a planar surface. This tolerance value is equal to the larger of the following two values:
Standard_Boolean	Found () const
	Returns true if a plane containing the edges of the shape is found and built. Use the function Plane to consult the result.
Handle< Geom_Plane >	Plane () const
	Returns the plane containing the edges of the shape. Warning Use the function Found to verify that the plane is built. If a plane is not found, Plane returns a null handle.

Detailed Description

Describes functions to find the plane in which the edges of a given shape are located. A FindPlane object provides a framework for:

• extracting the edges of a given shape,
• implementing the construction algorithm, and
• consulting the result.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane() [1/2]

BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane

(

)

Initializes an empty algorithm. The function Init is then used to define the shape.

BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane() [2/2]

BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane	(	const TopoDS_Shape &	S,
		const Standard_Real	Tol = -1
	)

Constructs the plane containing the edges of the shape S. A plane is built only if all the edges are within a distance of less than or equal to tolerance from a planar surface. This tolerance value is equal to the larger of the following two values:

• Tol, where the default value is negative, or
• the largest of the tolerance values assigned to the individual edges of S. Use the function Found to verify that a plane is built. The resulting plane is then retrieved using the function Plane.

Member Function Documentation

Found()

Standard_Boolean BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::Found

(

)

const

Returns true if a plane containing the edges of the shape is found and built. Use the function Plane to consult the result.

Init()

void BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::Init	(	const TopoDS_Shape &	S,
		const Standard_Real	Tol = -1
	)

Constructs the plane containing the edges of the shape S. A plane is built only if all the edges are within a distance of less than or equal to tolerance from a planar surface. This tolerance value is equal to the larger of the following two values:

• Tol, where the default value is negative, or
• the largest of the tolerance values assigned to the individual edges of S. Use the function Found to verify that a plane is built. The resulting plane is then retrieved using the function Plane.

Plane()

Handle< Geom_Plane > BRepBuilderAPI_FindPlane::Plane

(

)

const

Returns the plane containing the edges of the shape. Warning Use the function Found to verify that the plane is built. If a plane is not found, Plane returns a null handle.
