class ARPlaneAnchor : ARAnchor
When you run a world-tracking AR session wirth the plane option, the session automatically adds to its list of anchors an ARPlane object for each flat surface ARKit detects with the back-facing camera. Each plane anchor provides information about the estimated position and shape of the surface.
var alignment: ARPlaneThe general orientation of the detected plane with respect to gravity.
enum ARPlaneValues describing possible general orientations of a detected plane with respect to gravity.
var geometry: ARPlaneA coarse triangle mesh representing the general shape of the detected plane.
class ARPlaneA 3D mesh describing the shape of a detected plane in world-tracking AR sessions.
class ARSCNPlaneA SceneKit representation of the 2D shape of a plane, for use with plane detection results in an AR session.
var center: simdThe center point of the plane relative to its anchor position.
var extent: simdThe estimated width and length of the detected plane.
class var isA Boolean value that indicates whether plane classification is available on the current device.
var classification: ARPlaneA general characterization of what kind of real-world surface the plane anchor represents.
enum ARPlanePossible characterizations of real-world surfaces represented by plane anchors.

class ARWorldA configuration that uses the back-facing camera, tracks a device's orientation and position, and detects real-world surfaces, and known images or objects.
