class	Geom_Plane
	Describes a plane in 3D space. A plane is positioned in space by a coordinate system (a gp_Ax3 object) such that the plane is defined by the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of this coordinate system. This coordinate system is the "local coordinate <br> system" of the plane. The following apply: Its "X Direction" and "Y Direction" are respectively the u and v parametric directions of the plane. Its origin is the origin of the u and v parameters (also called the "origin" of the plane). Its "main Direction" is a vector normal to the plane. This normal vector gives the orientation of the plane only if the local coordinate system is "direct". (The orientation of the plane is always defined by the "X Direction" and the "Y Direction" of its local coordinate system.) The parametric equation of the plane is: P(u, v) = O + u*XDir + v*YDir where O, XDir and YDir are respectively the origin, the "X Direction" and the "Y Direction" of the local coordinate system of the plane. The parametric range of the two parameters u and v is ] -infinity, +infinity [. More...
