Method Details

__init__(self, point, direction)
(Constructor)

 
Parameters:

distanceFrom(self, point)

 
Parameters:
  • point - a point in space
Returns: float
Overrides: GeometricalObject3D.distanceFrom
(inherited documentation)

projectionOf(self, point)

 
Parameters:
Returns: Scientific.Geometry.Vector
the projection of point onto the line

volume(self)

 
Returns: float or NoneType
the volume of the object. The result is None for unbounded objects and zero for lower-dimensional objects.
