Utility for working with Plücker coordinates for lines in 3d homogeneous space.
Documentation
When lines are represented as Plücker coordinates, we have the
ability to check for both directed and undirected
equality. Undirected equality between Line
s (or a Line
and a
Ray
) checks that the two lines coincide in 3D space. Directed
equality, between two Ray
s, checks that two lines coincide in 3D,
and have the same direction. To accomodate these two notions of
equality, we use an Eq
instance on the Coincides
data type.
For example, to check the directed equality between two lines,
p1
and p2
, we write, Ray p1 == Ray p2
.
