ClippingPlane

new Cesium.ClippingPlane(normal, distance)
Scene/ClippingPlane.js 19

A Plane in Hessian Normal form to be used with ClippingPlaneCollection. Compatible with mathematics functions in Plane
Name Type Description
normal Cartesian3 The plane's normal (normalized).
distance Number The shortest distance from the origin to the plane. The sign of distance determines which side of the plane the origin is on. If distance is positive, the origin is in the half-space in the direction of the normal; if negative, the origin is in the half-space opposite to the normal; if zero, the plane passes through the origin.

distance : Number
Scene/ClippingPlane.js 42

The shortest distance from the origin to the plane. The sign of distance determines which side of the plane the origin is on. If distance is positive, the origin is in the half-space in the direction of the normal; if negative, the origin is in the half-space opposite to the normal; if zero, the plane passes through the origin.

normal : Cartesian3
Scene/ClippingPlane.js 62

The plane's normal.

Methods

static Cesium.ClippingPlane.clone(clippingPlane, result) → ClippingPlane
Scene/ClippingPlane.js 109

Clones the ClippingPlane without setting its ownership.
Name Type Description
clippingPlane ClippingPlane The ClippingPlane to be cloned
result ClippingPlane optional The object on which to store the cloned parameters.
Returns:
a clone of the input ClippingPlane

static Cesium.ClippingPlane.fromPlane(plane, result) → ClippingPlane
Scene/ClippingPlane.js 89

Create a ClippingPlane from a Plane object.
Name Type Description
plane Plane The plane containing parameters to copy
result ClippingPlane optional The object on which to store the result
Returns:
The ClippingPlane generated from the plane's parameters.
