createPerpendicularVectorFavorXYPlane MethodStatic
Return a vector that is perpendicular to the input vectorA.
- Among the infinite number of perpendiculars possible, this method favors having one in the xy plane.
- Hence, when vectorAis close to the Z axis, the returned vector isvectorA cross -unitYbut whenvectorAis NOT close to the Z axis, the returned vector isunitZ cross vectorA.
