geom3d[projection] - find the projection of an object on the other object
Calling Sequence
projection(Q, A, l)
projection(Q, A, p)
projection(Q, seg, p)
projection(Q, l, p)
Parameters
Q
-
the name of the object to be created
A
point
seg
line segment or a directed line segment
l
line
p
plane
Description
The routine finds the projection Q of an object on the other object.
For a detailed description of the object to be created Q, use the routine detail (e.g., detail(Q))
The command with(geom3d,projection) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
Examples
Find the equations of the projection of the line (x-1)/2=(y+1)/(-1)=(z-3)/4 on the plane x+2*y+z=6
Warning, assume that the parameter in the parametric equations is _t Warning, assuming that the names of the axes are _x, _y, and _z
