Detailed Description

template<class T>
class cf::math::PlueckerT< T >

This class represents Pluecker coordinates.

Good introductions about Pluecker coordinates are found in publications by Seth Teller (e.g. "Visibility Computations in Densely Occluded Polyhedral Environments" (Ph.D. dissertation, Berkeley, 1992)), at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pl%C3%BCcker_co-ordinates), and many other internet sites.
