int plucker_line_from_planes
(
	Vector **plucker_line,
	const Vector *plane_one,
	const Vector *plane_two
);

PARAMETERS

Vector **plucker_line: The target Vector pointer to put the new plucker line into.
const Vector *plane_one: The first plane, as a 4-Vector.
const Vector *plane_two: The second plane, as a 4-Vector.

DESCRIPTION

Creates a 6-vector plucker line from the elements in two 4-vectors representing two planes in three-dimensional space.

RETURNS

ERROR if either plane is of innappropriate size or if allocation fails. NO_ERROR otherwise.
