Foot(...)

Contents

  • def Foot
    • class LineFoot
    • class PlaneFoot

Objects derived from the _Point abstract class, with its position in space determined as a the perpendicular foot of a given geometric object with respect to a given point.


def Foot

constructors:
  • Foot(line, point): calls: class LineFoot
  • Foot(plane,point); calls: class PlaneFoot
returns:

A point at the foot of a given point with respect to a given geometric object

class LineFoot

constructors:
  • Foot(point, line)
  • LineFoot(point,line)
returns:

the point on the given line at the intersection with the perpendicular to it through the given point; returns the point untransformed if point is on the line

class PlaneFoot

constructors:
  • Foot(point, plane)
  • PlaneFoot(point,plane)
returns:

the point on the given plane at the intersection with the perpendicular to it through the given point. returns the point untransformed if point is on the plane
