Class
    Foam::plane
 
Description
    Geometric class that creates a 3D plane and can return the intersection
    point between a line and the plane.
 
    Construction from a dictionary is driven by the \c planeType
 
    For \c planeType as \c pointAndNormal :
    \verbatim
    pointAndNormalDict
    {
        point   <point>;   // or basePoint
        normal  <vector>;  // or normalVector
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    For \c planeType as \c embeddedPoints :
    \verbatim
    embeddedPointsDict
    {
        point1  <point>;
        point2  <point>;
        point3  <point>;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    For \c planeType with \c planeEquation coefficients
    \f$ ax + by + cz + d = 0 \f$ :
 
    \verbatim
    planeEquationDict
    {
       a   <scalar>;
       b   <scalar>;
       c   <scalar>;
       d   <scalar>;
    }
    \endverbatim
