/**
*
*
* This package contains code related to partitioning of spaces by hyperplanes.
*
*
*
* A hyperplane is a subspace of dimension one less than its surrounding space.
* In Euclidean 3D space, the hyperplanes are 2-dimensional planes, while in
* Euclidean 2D space, the hyperplanes are 1-dimensional lines. Hyperplanes have
* the property that they partition the entire surrounding space into 3 distinct sets
* of points: (1) points lying on one side of the hyperplane, (2) points lying on the
* opposite side, and (3) points lying directly on the hyperplane itself. In order
* to differentiate between the two sides of the hyperplane, one side is labeled
* as the plus side and the other as the minus side. The plus side
* of a Euclidean plane, for example, lies in the direction of the plane normal.
