<h1 id="function-intersect">Function intersect <a href="#function-intersect" title="Permalink">#</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
Calculates the point of intersection of two lines in two or three dimensions
|
|
and of a line and a plane in three dimensions. The inputs are in the form of
|
|
arrays or 1 dimensional matrices. The line intersection functions return null
|
|
if the lines do not meet.
|
|
|
|
Note: Fill the plane coefficients as `x + y + z = c` and not as `x + y + z + c = 0`.
