Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

ray-disk-intersection

Calculate the intersection of a ray and a disk or plane in three dimensions

A disk is generally defined by a position (the disk center's position), a normal and a radius. First we can test if the ray intersects the plane in which lies the disk. Then compute the distance from this point to this disk's center. If this distance is lower or equal to the disk radius, then the ray intersects the disk.

Notice Whether the plane faces the ray direction or the back faces the ray direction, the intersection of lines and surfaces can all be detected.

npm install ray-disk-intersection

Methods

  • intersectPlane(plane, ray) => null|number
  • intersectDisk(disk, ray) => null|number

return the scale factor of ray if there has one and only one intersection, return null other wise.

Type

type Ray = {
    origin:vec3|number[],
    dir:vec3|number[],
}

type Plane = {
    n:vec3|number[],    // normalVector of plane
    p:vec3|number[],    // a point on the plane
}

type Disk = {
    n:vec3|number[],    // normalVector of plane
    p:vec3|number[],    // the center point of the disk
    r:number,           // the radius of the disk
}

Example

import {
    Plane,
    Disk,
    intersectDisk,
    intersectPlane,
} from 'ray-disk-intersection';
import { vec3 } from 'gl-matrix';

const plane:Plane = {
    n: vec3.normalize(vec3.create(), [-1, -1, -1]),
    p: [0, 0, 0],
};

const ray = {
    origin: [10, 10, 10],
    dir: vec3.normalize(vec3.create(), [-1, -1, -1]),
};

const result = intersectPlane(plane, ray);
if (result) {
    const point = vec3.scaleAndAdd(vec3.create(), ray.origin, dir, result);
}

const disk:Disk = {
    n: vec3.normalize(vec3.create(), [-1, -1, -1]),
    p: [0, 0, 0],
    radius: 1,
};

const result2 = intersectDisk(disk, ray);
if (result2) {
    const point = vec3.scaleAndAdd(vec3.create(), ray.origin, dir, result2);
}

const ray2:Ray = {
    origin: [10, 10, 10],
    dir: vec3.normalize(vec3.create(), [-1.5, -1, -1.5]),
}
const result3 = intersectDisk(disk, ray2);
console.log(result3); // should be null
