Vector of tetrahedrons

A tetrahedron, or triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron consisting of 4 triangles between 4 vertices. A tetrahedron splits the euclidean space in two by the plane defined by the first 3 vertices and the positive side being the side that includes the fourth vertex. If a all 4 vertices are coplanar the tetrahedron is considered degenerate. Tetrahedrons only exists in 3 dimensions.

Usage

tetrahedron(...)

is_tetrahedron(x)

as_tetrahedron(x)

Arguments

...

Various input. See the Constructor section.

x

A vector of tetrahedrons or an object to convert to it

Value

An euclid_tetrahedron vector

Constructors

3 dimensional tetrahedrons

• Providing four points will construct tetrahedrons in the order the points are given.
