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(
	Ellipse ellipse
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function Intersect2d ( _
	ellipse As Ellipse _
) As PointSet
Visual C++
public:
PointSet^ Intersect2d(
	Ellipse^ ellipse
)

Parameters

ellipse
Type: ceometric.VectorGeometry..::.Ellipse
An ellipse coplanar to the line.

Return Value

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

Returns null if the objects are not coplanar.

Remarks

Use Intersect3d(Ellipse) for non-coplanar intersection.
