From time to time I need to explain how some piece of code works where there is a bit of math. There are many pages of notes and nearly all of them were done on graph paper with my old Montblanc fountain pen. Carefully. Then again some notes are messy thoughts thrown on paper to be organized later. A full index with comments will appear at some point. Example : Line Plane intercept in R3 space Line Plane intercept in R3 space The various ideas on that diagram are implemented in code which also detects degenerate cases. What is a line is actually inside a plane? In that case how does one select an intercept point from the infinite solutions? I simply went with the point on the line closest to the point used to define the plane location in R3 space. Seems reasonable. See : line_plane_icept.c where there are plenty of comments. That degenerate case is trivial if one spends a bit of time to think about it. Line Plane intercept Degenerate case There is a file list see schedule
