//  Class: SbPlane
//
//  Represents an oriented plane in 3D space. The plane is defined by
//  a plane normal and a distance from the origin along that normal.
//  SbPlanes may be used to represent either planes or half-spaces. In
//  the latter case (as for the isInHalfSpace() method), the
//  half-space is defined to be all points on the plane or on the side
//  of the plane in the direction of the plane normal.
//
//  The 4 coefficients of the plane equation of an SbPlane can be
//  obtained easily as the 3 coordinates of the plane normal and the
//  distance, in that order.
