gintersect

gintersect

Finds intersection between two lines. This is JavaScript adaptation of Mukesh Prasad's work from Grapchis Gem II book. It is supposed to be very fast.

usage

var intersect = require('gintersect');
var intersection = intersect(
  // first segment
  -1, 1, // start
  1, -1, // end
  // second segment
  -1, -1, // start
  1, 1 // end
);
console.log(intersection);
// prints {x: 0, y: 0} - intersection point of two segments

If no intersection found return value is falsy:

var parallel = intersect(
  // first segment
  0, 1, // start
  0, 2, // end
  // second segment
  1, 1, // start
  1, 2 // end
);
console.log(parallel);
// prints null - two parallel segments do not intersect.

install

With npm do:

npm install gintersect
