  - ### findIntersectionBounds

    protected void findIntersectionBounds(PlanetModel planetModel, Bounds boundsInfo, Plane q, Membership... bounds)
    Record intersection points for planes with error bounds. This method calls the Bounds object with every intersection point it can find that matches the criteria. Each plane is considered to have two sides, one that is D + MINIMUM_RESOLUTION, and one that is D - MINIMUM_RESOLUTION. Both are examined and intersection points determined.

  - ### recordBounds

    public void recordBounds(PlanetModel planetModel, XYZBounds boundsInfo, Plane p, Membership... bounds)
    Accumulate (x,y,z) bounds information for this plane, intersected with another and the world. Updates min/max information using intersection points found. These include the error envelope for the planes (D +/- MINIMUM_RESOLUTION).
    Parameters:
      `planetModel` - is the planet model to use in determining bounds.
      `boundsInfo` - is the xyz info to update with additional bounding information.
      `p` - is the other plane.
      `bounds` - are the surfaces delineating what's inside the shape.

  - ### recordBounds

    public void recordBounds(PlanetModel planetModel, XYZBounds boundsInfo, Membership... bounds)
    Accumulate (x,y,z) bounds information for this plane, intersected with the unit sphere. Updates min/max information, using max/min points found within the specified bounds.
    Parameters:
      `planetModel` - is the planet model to use in determining bounds.
      `boundsInfo` - is the xyz info to update with additional bounding information.
      `bounds` - are the surfaces delineating what's inside the shape.

  - ### recordBounds

    public void recordBounds(PlanetModel planetModel, LatLonBounds boundsInfo, Plane p, Membership... bounds)
    Accumulate bounds information for this plane, intersected with another plane and the world. Updates both latitude and longitude information, using max/min points found within the specified bounds. Also takes into account the error envelope for all planes being intersected.
    Parameters:
      `planetModel` - is the planet model to use in determining bounds.
      `boundsInfo` - is the lat/lon info to update with additional bounding information.

  - ### recordBounds

    public void recordBounds(PlanetModel planetModel, LatLonBounds boundsInfo, Membership... bounds)
    Accumulate bounds information for this plane, intersected with the unit sphere. Updates both latitude and longitude information, using max/min points found within the specified bounds.
    Parameters:
      `planetModel` - is the planet model to use in determining bounds.
      `boundsInfo` - is the lat/lon info to update with additional bounding information.

      true if there's a crossing.

  - ### isFunctionallyIdentical

    public boolean isFunctionallyIdentical(Plane p)
    Returns true if this plane and the other plane are functionally identical within the margin of error. Functionally identical means that the planes are so close to parallel that many aspects of planar math, like intersections, no longer have answers to within the required precision.
    Parameters:
      `p` - is the plane to compare against.
    Returns:
      true if the planes are functionally identical.

  - ### isNumericallyIdentical

    public boolean isNumericallyIdentical(Plane p)
    Returns true if this plane and the other plane are identical within the margin of error.
    Parameters:
      `p` - is the plane to compare against.
    Returns:
      true if the planes are numerically identical.
