Description

This function defines an arbitrary 3D line geometry object. You can translate, rotate, scale, or transform the resulting line, using the 3D image processing module.

You can use the resulting line to, for example, perform an arithmetic operation on a depth map using the 3D image processing module, or calculate its distance from each point in a point cloud using the 3D metrology module.

If you want to define a line geometry object from results obtained in a different module, you can use the copy function of that module.

All coordinates are expressed in world units in the working coordinate system.

Note that if Geometry3dgeoId specifies a previously-defined line, you can leave some of its attributes unchanged, even if that attribute was set using a different creation mode or was modified using the 3D image processing module. To do so, set the corresponding parameter to M_UNCHANGED.

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see if there is complementary information.

Parameters

This function is not supported on the selected boards.

Parameters

Geometry3dgeoId

Specifies the identifier of the 3D geometry object, previously allocated on the required system using M3dgeoAlloc() with M_GEOMETRY.

CreationMode

Specifies how the line is defined.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

XPos1

Specifies the X-coordinate of the first point used to define the line.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

YPos1

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the first point used to define the line.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

ZPos1

Specifies the Z-coordinate of the first point used to define the line.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

XPos2OrVector

Specifies the X-coordinate of the second point used to define the line, or the X-component of the vector defining the line's direction and length (if Length is M_DEFAULT).

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

YPos2OrVector

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the second point used to define the line, or the Y-component of the vector defining the line's direction and length (if Length is M_DEFAULT).

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

ZPos2OrVector

Specifies the Z-coordinate of the second point used to define the line, or the Z-component of the vector defining the line's direction and length (if Length is M_DEFAULT).

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

Length

Specifies to override the default line length.

For specifying to override the default line length
Value	Description
M_DEFAULT	Specifies the default length defined by the creation mode.
M_INFINITE	Specifies an infinite line.
M_UNCHANGED	Specifies to use the previously-defined value.
Value >= 0.0	Specifies to override the line's length with a specific value.

ControlFlag

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

M_POINT_AND_VECTOR			Defines the line using a point on the line and a nonzero vector defining the line's direction. By default, the length of the line is finite and is set to the vector's magnitude. The point is at the start of the line. You can determine the coordinates of the line's end point by adding the given vector's X-, Y-, and Z-components to the first point's respective coordinates. You can also use M3dgeoInquire() with M_END_POINT_.... Note that if you set one of the vector's components to M_UNCHANGED, you must also set the other two components to M_UNCHANGED. (summarize) Defines the line using a point on the line and a nonzero vector defining the line's direction. (more details...)
	XPos1		Specifies the X-coordinate of the point on the line. (summarize) Specifies the X-coordinate of the point on the line. (more details...)

		Value	Specifies the Z-component of the vector defining the line's direction.
M_TWO_POINTS			Defines the line using any two non-identical points. By default, the length of the line is finite and is set to the distance between the two specified points.
