Ray

A ray that extends infinitely from an origin in one direction.

Usage​

import {Vector3} from '@math.gl/core';
import {Plane, Ray} from '@math.gl/culling';

const ray = new Ray(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), new Vector3(1, 0, 0));
const plane = new Plane([1, 0, 0], -10);
const intersection = plane.intersectWithRay(ray);

Fields​

origin : Vector3​

The ray origin.

direction : Vector3​

The normalized ray direction.

Methods​

constructor(origin? : Vector3, direction? : Vector3)​

Creates a ray. The constructor clones both inputs and normalizes direction. Omitted inputs default to zero vectors.

  • origin - Optional ray origin.
  • direction - Optional ray direction.
