Computes a parallel projection of the 3d vector.

Namespace: ceometric.VectorGeometry
Assembly: ceometric.VectorGeometry (in ceometric.VectorGeometry.dll) Version: 1.6.0.0 (1.6.0.0)

Syntax

C#
public Vector3d ProjectParallelOn( Plane plane, Vector3d viewDirection )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function ProjectParallelOn ( _ plane As Plane, _ viewDirection As Vector3d _ ) As Vector3d

Visual C++
public: Vector3d^ ProjectParallelOn( Plane^ plane, Vector3d^ viewDirection )

plane: Type: ceometric.VectorGeometry..::.Plane
A plane the 3d vector is projected onto.

viewDirection: Type: ceometric.VectorGeometry..::.Vector3d
A vector defining the direction of the projection.

The projection of the vector onto plane in the direction of viewDirection.

Remarks

For a perpendicular projection of a 3d vector v on a plane plane, write v.ProjectParallelOn(plane, plane.NormalVector);

If the vector and viewDirection are parallel, this method returns a zero length vector.

Exception	Condition
System..::.ArgumentException	The view direction is parallel to the projection plane.
