Detailed Description

template<class T>
class nirt::core::triangle3d< T >

3d triangle template class for doing collision detection and other things.

Member Function Documentation

closestPointOnTriangle()

template<class T >

core::vector3d< T > nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::closestPointOnTriangle ( const core::vector3d< T > &  p ) const

inline

Get the closest point on a triangle to a point on the same plane.

Parameters

p	Point which must be on the same plane as the triangle.

Returns

The closest point of the triangle

getIntersectionOfPlaneWithLine()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::getIntersectionOfPlaneWithLine ( const vector3d< T > &  linePoint, const vector3d< T > &  lineVect, vector3d< T > &  outIntersection  ) const

inline

Calculates the intersection between a 3d line and the plane the triangle is on.

Parameters

lineVect	Vector of the line to intersect with.
linePoint	Point of the line to intersect with.
outIntersection	Place to store the intersection point, if there is one.

Returns

True if there was an intersection, else false.

getIntersectionWithLimitedLine()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::getIntersectionWithLimitedLine ( const line3d< T > &  line, vector3d< T > &  outIntersection  ) const

inline

Get an intersection with a 3d line.

Parameters

line	Line to intersect with.
outIntersection	Place to store the intersection point, if there is one.

Returns

True if there was an intersection, false if not.

getIntersectionWithLine()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::getIntersectionWithLine ( const vector3d< T > &  linePoint, const vector3d< T > &  lineVect, vector3d< T > &  outIntersection  ) const

inline

Get an intersection with a 3d line.

Please note that also points are returned as intersection which are on the line, but not between the start and end point of the line. If you want the returned point be between start and end use getIntersectionWithLimitedLine().

Parameters

linePoint	Point of the line to intersect with.
lineVect	Vector of the line to intersect with.
outIntersection	Place to store the intersection point, if there is one.

Returns

True if there was an intersection, false if there was not.

getNormal()

template<class T >

vector3d< T > nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::getNormal ( ) const

inline

Get the normal of the triangle.

Please note: The normal is not always normalized.

isFrontFacing()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::isFrontFacing ( const vector3d< T > &  lookDirection ) const

inline

Test if the triangle would be front or backfacing from any point.

Thus, this method assumes a camera position from which the triangle is definitely visible when looking at the given direction. Do not use this method with points as it will give wrong results!

Parameters

lookDirection

Look direction.

Returns

True if the plane is front facing and false if it is backfacing.

isPointInsideFast()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::isPointInsideFast ( const vector3d< T > &  p ) const

inline

Check if a point is inside the triangle (border-points count also as inside)

This method uses a barycentric coordinate system. It is faster than isPointInside but is more susceptible to floating point rounding errors. This will especially be noticeable when the FPU is in single precision mode (which is for example set on default by Direct3D).

Parameters

p	Point to test. Assumes that this point is already on the plane of the triangle.

Returns

True if point is inside the triangle, otherwise false.

isTotalInsideBox()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::isTotalInsideBox ( const aabbox3d< T > &  box ) const

inline

Determines if the triangle is totally inside a bounding box.

Parameters

box	Box to check.

Returns

True if triangle is within the box, otherwise false.

isTotalOutsideBox()

template<class T >

bool nirt::core::triangle3d< T >::isTotalOutsideBox ( const aabbox3d< T > &  box ) const

inline

Determines if the triangle is totally outside a bounding box.

Parameters

box	Box to check.

Returns

True if triangle is outside the box, otherwise false.
