Spaces orthogonal to the radius vector in spheres. #
This file defines the affine subspace orthogonal to the radius vector at a point.
Main definitions #
EuclideanGeometry.Sphere.orthRadius: the affine subspace orthogonal to the radius vector at a point (the tangent space, if that point lies in the sphere; more generally, the polar of the inversion of that point in the sphere).
The affine subspace orthogonal to the radius vector of the sphere s at the point p (if
p lies in s, this is the tangent space; generally, this is the polar of the inversion of p
in s).

Alias of the reverse direction of EuclideanGeometry.Sphere.dist_sq_eq_iff_mem_orthRadius.
In 2D, the line defined by s.orthRadius p intersects s at at most two points so long as p
lies within s and not at its center.
This version provides expressions for those points in terms of an arbitrary vector in
s.orthRadius p with norm 1.
In 2D, the line defined by s.orthRadius p intersects s at at most two points so long as p
lies within s and not at its center.
This version provides expressions for those points in terms of an arbitrary vector in
s.orthRadius p.
In 2D, the line defined by s.orthRadius p intersects s at exactly two points so long as p
lies strictly within s and not at its center.
