• distance3D

  public static double distance3D(double px,
                                  double py,
                                  double pz,
                                  double qx,
                                  double qy,
                                  double qz)

  Calculate the distance between 2 3D points p(x, y, z) and q (x, y, z) using Pythagoras' theorem

  Parameters:

  px - x-coordinate of first point

  py - y-coordinate of first point

  pz - z-coordinate of first point

  qx - x-coordinate of second point

  qy - y-coordinate of second point

  qz - z-coordinate of second point

  Returns:

  distance between points.

• distance3D

  public static double distance3D(double x,
                                  double y,
                                  double z)

  Calculate the distance to the origin, (0,0,0). Given 3 orthogonal vectors, calculates the vector sum

  Parameters:

  x - x-coordinate of the point.

  y - y-coordinate of the point.

  z - z-coordinate of the point.

  Returns:

  distance of the point to the origin.
