skspatial.objects.Plane.cartesian

Plane.cartesian() → Tuple[number, number, number, number]

Return the coefficients of the Cartesian equation of the plane.

The equation has the form ax + by + cz + d = 0.

Returns:

tuple

Coefficients a, b, c, d.

Raises:

ValueError

If the plane dimension is higher than 3.

Examples

>>> from skspatial.objects import Plane

>>> Plane(point=[1, 1], normal=[1, 0]).cartesian()
(1, 0, 0, -1)

>>> Plane(point=[1, 2, 0], normal=[0, 0, 1]).cartesian()
(0, 0, 1, 0)

>>> Plane(point=[1, 2, 8], normal=[0, 0, 5]).cartesian()
(0, 0, 5, -40)

>>> Plane(point=[4, 9, -1], normal=[10, 2, 4]).cartesian()
(10, 2, 4, -54)

>>> Plane([0, 0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0, 0]).cartesian()
