int plane_from_lines_as_points
(
	Vector **plane,
	const Vector *line_one_point_one,
	const Vector *line_one_point_two,
	const Vector *line_two_point_one,
	const Vector *line_two_point_two
);

PARAMETERS

Vector **plane: Pointer to the new plane.
const Vector *line_one_point_one: A point on a given line.
const Vector *line_one_point_two: A point on a given line.
const Vector *line_two_point_one: A point on a given line.
const Vector *line_two_point_two: A point on a given line.

DESCRIPTION

Given four points, assumes two lines from them and derives the common plane between them.

RETURNS

ERROR if the lines are not coplanar or allocation fails. NO_ERROR otherwise.

plane_from_plucker_lines, points_from_plucker distance_between_lines_as_points

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
