Computes the coplanar intersection of two objects.

Namespace:  ceometric.VectorGeometry
Assembly:  ceometric.VectorGeometry (in ceometric.VectorGeometry.dll) Version: 1.8.0.0 (1.8.0.0)

Syntax

C#
public PointSet Intersect2d(
	Edge edge
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function Intersect2d ( _
	edge As Edge _
) As PointSet
Visual C++
public:
PointSet^ Intersect2d(
	Edge^ edge
)

Parameters

edge
Type: ceometric.VectorGeometry..::.Edge
An intersecting Edge coplanar to the ellipse.

Return Value

Returns a PointSet containing the intersection points of the circumference of the ellipse and edge. This point set contains
  • 0 intersection points if edge is coplanar to the ellipse but does not intersect the ellipse
  • 1 intersection point if edge is coplanar and tangent to the ellipse.
  • 1 intersection point if edge is coplanar to the ellipse and crosses the perimeter of the ellipse once
  • 2 intersection points if edge is coplanar to the ellipse and crosses the perimeter of the ellipse twice

Returns null if the objects are not coplanar.

Remarks

Use Intersect3d(Ellipse) for non-coplanar intersection.
