  *
  * \brief A hyperplane
  *
  * A hyperplane is an affine subspace of dimension n-1 in a space of dimension n.
  * For example, a hyperplane in a plane is a line; a hyperplane in 3-space is a plane.
  *
  * \tparam _Scalar the scalar type, i.e., the type of the coefficients
  * \tparam _AmbientDim the dimension of the ambient space, can be a compile time value or Dynamic.
  *             Notice that the dimension of the hyperplane is _AmbientDim-1.
  *
  * This class represents an hyperplane as the zero set of the implicit equation
  * \f$ n \cdot x + d = 0 \f$ where \f$ n \f$ is a unit normal vector of the plane (linear part)
  * and \f$ d \f$ is the distance (offset) to the origin.
