Inputs/Outputs

  • cnclst.png Plane —

    Plane is a cluster consisting of the four coefficients of the plane equation.

  • csgl.png A —

    A specifies the A coefficient of the plane equation.

  • csgl.png B —

    B specifies the B coefficient of the plane equation.

  • csgl.png C —

    C specifies the C coefficient of the plane equation.

  • csgl.png D —

    D specifies the D coefficient of the plane equation.

  • ci32.png Number —

    Number is the integer used to identify the plane. Number must be a value between 0 and 5, inclusive.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • isclipref.png New Clip Plane Refnum —

    New Clip Plane Refnum is the reference to the clip plane.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

    • The coordinates of points in a clip plane are determined by the following equation:

    Ax+By+Cz+D = 0

    LabVIEW determines the side of the plane on which objects appear based on the orientation of the plane. A plane defined by the constants 1, 1, 1, and 0 is opposite in orientation to a plane defined by the constants –1, –1, –1, and 0.
