Detailed Description

Represent a plane in 3D.

Note:: This class is a geometric primitive. Also, this class is not not initialized by its default constructor.

Orientation
Up is the direction of the normal. You really shouldn't use these as they aren't very reliable.

(Note that these are not member functions.)
double	get_distance (const Plane3D &pln, const Vector3D &p)
	Return the distance between a plane and a point in 3D.
