SegmentLine

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl

Computes the line passing through a segment.

Syntax

void avl::SegmentLine
(
	const avl::Segment2D& inSegment,
	avl::Line2D& outLine
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Default	Description
	inSegment	const Segment2D&		Input segment
	outLine	Line2D&		The resulting line

Description

Note that because of inaccuracies of floating-point arithmetic, some geometric operations (including this one) may lead to unpredictable results for degenerated cases. In this filter such a case occurs when an empty segment is given on input.

Examples

SegmentLine performed on a segment with parameters: X1 = 50, Y1 = 50, X2 = 300, Y2 = 300.
outLine returns line (picture on right).
