Instance Methods

__init__(self, point, direction)

float distanceFrom(self, point)

Scientific.Geometry.Vector projectionOf(self, point)
Returns the projection of point onto the line

float or NoneType volume(self)
Returns the volume of the object.

Inherited from GeometricalObject3D: hasPoint, intersectWith

Method Details

init(self, point, direction)
(Constructor)

Parameters:

point (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - any point on the line
direction (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - the direction of the line

distanceFrom(self, point)

Returns: float

Overrides: GeometricalObject3D.distanceFrom: (inherited documentation)

projectionOf(self, point)

Parameters:

point (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - a point in space

Returns: Scientific.Geometry.Vector: the projection of point onto the line

volume(self)

Returns: float or NoneType: the volume of the object. The result is None for unbounded objects and zero for lower-dimensional objects.

Overrides: GeometricalObject3D.volume: (inherited documentation)
