AngleBetweenPlanes


Header: FIL.h
Namespace: fil
Module: Vision3DLite

Measures the smaller and the larger angle between two planes in 3D.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void fil::AngleBetweenPlanes
(
	const fil::Plane3D& inPlane1,
	const fil::Plane3D& inPlane2,
	ftl::Optional<float&> outSmallerAngle = ftl::NIL,
	ftl::Optional<float&> outLargerAngle = ftl::NIL
)

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
Input value
 inPlane1 const Plane3D&
Input value
 inPlane2 const Plane3D&
Output value
 outSmallerAngle Optional<float&> NIL
Output value
 outLargerAngle Optional<float&> NIL

Optional Outputs

The computation of following outputs can be switched off by passing value ftl::NIL to these parameters: outSmallerAngle, outLargerAngle.

Description

The operation returns the single measure of the angle between two planes in 3D, which is equal to the angle between their normal vectors.

Errors
