Module Procedures

private pure function line_from_2pts(pt1, pt2) result(rst)

Constructs a line from two points.

Arguments

Type IntentOptional Attributes Name
real(kind=real64), intent(in) :: pt1(3)

The first point. This point will act as the initial point along the line such that in the equation of the line .
real(kind=real64), intent(in) :: pt2(3)

The second point.

Return Value type(line)

The resulting line.

private pure function line_from_2_planes(p1, p2) result(rst)

Constructs a line from the intersection of two planes.

Arguments

Type IntentOptional Attributes Name
class(plane), intent(in) :: p1

The first plane.
class(plane), intent(in) :: p2

The second plane.

Return Value type(line)

The resulting line. NaN's are returned in the event that the two planes are parallel.

private pure function line_from_many_points(pts) result(rst)

Constructs the line that best fits the supplied set of points in a least-squares sense.

Arguments

Type IntentOptional Attributes Name
real(kind=real64), intent(in), dimension(:,:) :: pts

An N-by-3 matrix where N is at least 2, but typically much larger.

Return Value type(line)

The resulting line.
