how to determine normal vector for points on a plane in ℤ³ |
Just learned how to do that with JSCAD "plane.fromPoints()", but while the first example result looks OK, null vector as normal vector in 2nd example does not make sense:

I would say that normal vector should be either [0,0,1] or [0,0,-1].Which builtin PARI/GP function that can determine the normal vector for points on a plane in ℤ³?
