Detailed Description

template<typename _Scalar, int _AmbientDim, int _Options>
class Eigen::ParametrizedLine< _Scalar, _AmbientDim, _Options >

A parametrized line.

This is defined in the Geometry module.

 #include <Eigen/Geometry> 

A parametrized line is defined by an origin point and a unit direction vector such that the line corresponds to the set , .

Parameters:

_Scalar	the scalar type, i.e., the type of the coefficients
_AmbientDim	the dimension of the ambient space, can be a compile time value or Dynamic.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ParametrizedLine

(

)

[inline, explicit]

Default constructor without initialization

ParametrizedLine

(

Index

_dim

)

[inline, explicit]

Constructs a dynamic-size line with _dim the dimension of the ambient space

ParametrizedLine	(	const VectorType &	origin,
		const VectorType &	direction
	)		[inline]

Initializes a parametrized line of direction direction and origin origin.

Warning:

the vector direction is assumed to be normalized.

ParametrizedLine

(

const Hyperplane< _Scalar, _AmbientDim, OtherOptions > &

hyperplane

)

[inline, explicit]

Constructs a parametrized line from a 2D hyperplane

Warning:

the ambient space must have dimension 2 such that the hyperplane actually describes a line

ParametrizedLine

(

const ParametrizedLine< OtherScalarType, AmbientDimAtCompileTime, OtherOptions > &

other

)

[inline, explicit]

Copy constructor with scalar type conversion

Member Function Documentation

internal::cast_return_type<ParametrizedLine, ParametrizedLine<NewScalarType,AmbientDimAtCompileTime,Options> >::type cast

(

)

const [inline]

Returns:

*this with scalar type casted to NewScalarType

Note that if NewScalarType is equal to the current scalar type of *this then this function smartly returns a const reference to *this.

Index dim

(

)

const [inline]

Returns:

the dimension in which the line holds

RealScalar distance

(

const VectorType &

p

)

const [inline]

Returns:

the distance of a point p to its projection onto the line *this.

See also:

squaredDistance()

_Scalar intersection

(

const Hyperplane< _Scalar, _AmbientDim, OtherOptions > &

hyperplane

)

const [inline]

Returns:

the parameter value of the intersection between *this and the given hyperplane

bool isApprox	(	const ParametrizedLine< _Scalar, _AmbientDim, _Options > &	other,
		typename NumTraits< Scalar >::Real	prec = NumTraits<Scalar>::dummy_precision()
	)		const [inline]

Returns:

true if *this is approximately equal to other, within the precision determined by prec.

See also:

MatrixBase::isApprox()

VectorType projection

(

const VectorType &

p

)

const [inline]

Returns:

the projection of a point p onto the line *this.

RealScalar squaredDistance

(

const VectorType &

p

)

const [inline]

Returns:

the squared distance of a point p to its projection onto the line *this.

distance()

static ParametrizedLine Through	(	const VectorType &	p0,
		const VectorType &	p1
	)		[inline, static]

Constructs a parametrized line going from p0 to p1.
