Public Member Functions
	PlaneEquation (const fmat::Column< 3 > &dir, float disp)
	constructor, will normalize dir and apply to disp as well to maintain relative relationship
	PlaneEquation (float a, float b, float c, float d)
	constructor, pass plane equation representing ax + by + cz = d
	PlaneEquation ()
	constructor, assumes upward z normal
const fmat::Column< 3 > &	getDirection () const
	returns direction
void	setDirection (const fmat::Column< 3 > &dir)
	normalizes and assigns direction (normalization here does not affect displacement, unlike constructor)
float	getDisplacement () const
	returns displacement
void	setDisplacement (float disp)
	assigns displacement
float	getZsign () const
	returns sign on displacement
float	getDsign () const
	returns sign on displacement
template<class T >
void	exportTo (T &x) const
	assign to a four-element vector via operator[], with displacement in the last element ([3])
template<class T >
void	importFrom (const T &x)
	pull values from a four-element vector via operator[], with displacement in the last element ([3])
Private Attributes
