14.5.7  Planes orthogonal to lines and lines orthogonal to planes in space: orthogonal

The orthogonal command finds orthogonal objects. It takes its arguments in different ways, and returns and draws a line or plane, depending on the arguments.


A point and a line.


Example.
Input:

orthogonal(point(0,0,0),line(point(1,0,0),point(0,1,0)))

Output:


A line and a plane.


Example.
Input:

perpendicular(line(point(0,0,0),point(1,1,0)),
       plane(point(1,0,0),point(0,1,0),point(0,0,1)))

Output:
