Description

The ProjectOnNormal method projects the current Vector3 instance onto a specified normal vector. This operation is useful in various geometric calculations, such as determining the component of a vector that lies along a particular direction.

Usage

To use the ProjectOnNormal method, you need to have a Vector3 instance and a normal vector onto which you want to project the instance. The method modifies the normal parameter to store the result of the projection.

Example

// Example usage of ProjectOnNormal
Vector3 vector = new Vector3(3, 4, 5);
Vector3 normal = new Vector3(0, 1, 0);

// Project vector onto the normal
Vector3 projectedVector = vector.ProjectOnNormal(ref normal);

// Output the result
// projectedVector will contain the component of 'vector' along 'normal'.
