Just to butt in here: I think Jing wants the plane in order to project
another vector onto it. In that case, the phrase "plane perpendicular to a
vector" could be replaced with "plane perpendicular to a vector and
containing the origin of the vector."

The math involved in getting the projection is clearly described in many
places. Try a web search on "projecting a vector onto a plane".

....good luck...dac
