Coordinate Axes and Coordinate Planes in 3D space

Explore the X, Y, and Z coordinate axes and the XY, XZ, and YZ coordinate planes in three-dimensional space. Understand how points are located using coordinates and visualize the relationship between axes and planes.

Interactive Coordinate Axes and Planes Visualization

Introduction

Explore fundamental geometric concepts in 3D space. Points represent locations, lines connect points, and planes are flat surfaces. Understand the X, Y, and Z coordinate axes and how they define the 3D coordinate system.

Features:
  • Points: Create points in 3D space and see their coordinates
  • Line Segments: Connect two points with a finite line segment
  • Rays: Draw rays that extend infinitely in one direction
  • Lines: Create infinite lines extending in both directions
  • Planes: Visualize flat surfaces in XY, XZ, YZ, or custom orientations
  • Interactive Controls: Rotate, zoom, and pan to view from different angles
  • Labels: Toggle point labels and coordinate axes

How to Use

  • Points: Enter X, Y, Z coordinates and click "Add Point"
  • Lines: Create at least 2 points, then select line type and choose start/end points from dropdowns (or leave empty to use last 2 points)
  • Planes: Select plane orientation (XY, XZ, YZ) or create custom plane with 3 points
  • Navigation: Click and drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, right-click and drag to pan
  • Selection: Click on a point in the list to highlight it in the 3D view
  • Coordinates: Points are positioned at the exact coordinates you specify (X, Y, Z)
