 Description
     Searching on finite plate. Plate has to be aligned with coordinate
-    axes!
+    axes.
+    Plate defined as origin and span. One of the components of span has
+    to be 0 which defines the normal direction. E.g.
+
+    span    = (Sx Sy 0)     // plate in x-y plane
+    origin  = (Ox Oy Oz)
+
+    now plane is from (Ox Oy Oz) to (Ox+Sx Oy+Sy Oz)
