 SbPlane ()
 Default constructor.
 
 SbPlane (const SbVec3f &p0, const SbVec3f &p1, const SbVec3f &p2)
 Construct a plane given three points.
 
 SbPlane (const SbVec3f &n, float d)
 Construct a plane given normal and distance from origin along normal.
 
 SbPlane (const SbVec3f &n, const SbVec3f &p)
 Construct a plane given normal and a point to pass through Orientation is given by the normal vector n.
 
void offset (float d)
 Offset a plane by a given distance.
 
bool intersect (const SbLine &l, SbVec3f &intersection) const

void transform (const SbMatrix &matrix)
 Transforms the plane by the given matrix.
 
bool isInHalfSpace (const SbVec3f &point) const
 Returns TRUE if the given point is within the half-space defined by the plane.
