face_normal3_R4P

public elemental function face_normal3_R4P(pt1, pt2, pt3, norm) result(normal)

Calculate the normal of the face defined by the 3 points.

The convention for the points numeration is the following:

 3.----.2
   \   |
    \  |
     \ |
      \|
       .1

The normal is calculated by the cross product of the side s12 for the side s13: s12 x s13. The normal is normalized if the variable norm is passed (with any value).

 type(vector_R4P) :: pt(0:3)

 pt(1) = ex_R4P
 pt(2) = ey_R4P
 pt(3) = ex_R4P - ey_R4P
 pt(0) = pt(1)%face_normal3(pt1=pt(1), pt2=pt(2), pt3=pt(3), norm='y')
 print "(3(F3.1,1X))", abs(pt(0)%x), abs(pt(0)%y), abs(pt(0)%z)

 type(vector_R4P) :: pt(0:3)

 pt(1) = ex_R4P
 pt(2) = ey_R4P
 pt(3) = ex_R4P - ey_R4P
 pt(0) = face_normal3_R4P(pt1=pt(1), pt2=pt(2), pt3=pt(3), norm='y')
 print "(3(F3.1,1X))", abs(pt(0)%x), abs(pt(0)%y), abs(pt(0)%z)
