:The canonical equation for a [ | :The canonical equation for a [https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Plane.html plane] in 3D is | ||
::a * x + b * y + c * z + d = 0 | ::'''a * x + b * y + c * z + d = 0,''' | ||
: | :with (a, b, c, d) being 4 real numbers and (a, b, c) forming a nonzero vector (the plane's "normal"). | ||
: | :*The set of points (x, y, z) verifying '''a * x + b * y + c * z + d = 0''' are said to be in the plane or at the plane. | ||
:*The set of points (x, y, z) verifying '''a * x + b * y + c * z + d > 0''' are said to be in front of the plane. | |||
: | :*The set of points (x, y, z) verifying '''a * x + b * y + c * z + d < 0''' are said to be behind the plane. | ||
: | :'''N.B.''' If a=b=c=0, then the equation is degenerate and applies either to the whole space (if d=0) or to no points at all (if d is non-zero). | ||
:As a further convention, if (a,b,c) is normalized at unit length (i.e., '''a*a + b*b + c*c = 1''') then d is the distance from the plane to the world's origin, along the normal vector. | |||
:The four floats in each element of a PLEA are exactly the (a, b, c, d) of the above definition. | |||
:In the above example, the first element defines the plane (0 * x + 0 * y + 1 * z + 612 = 0), i.e., the vertical plane z = -612. | |||
;What planes are for and how they are referenced | |||
:Planes are used for environment culling, collision detection and [[wikipedia:Binary_space_partitioning|BSP]]. | |||
:The plane equations stored in PLEA are referenced from such data as [[ABNA]], [[AKBP]], [[AKBA]] and [[AGQC]] by means of a 32-bit array index. | |||
:However, the high bit of those 32-bit references is not part of the array index, instead it indicates whether the facing of the plane should be flipped. | |||
:*If the high bit is not set, then the 4 values (a, b, c, d) are used as described above.<br />(If referencing the above example without a high bit, then any points with z > - 612 will be in front of the plane, whereas points with z < -612 will be behind the plane.) | |||
:*If the high bit is set, then the plane equation coefficients become (-a, -b, -c, -d).<br />(If referencing the above example with a high bit, then any point with z > - 612 will be behind the plane, whereas points with z < -612 will be in front of the plane.) | |||
:This means that the actual array index is a 31-bit value (i.e., there can "only" be up to 2,147,483,648 distinct planes in a level), but the same array element can be used for two different facing directions. | |||
