    points,
    Path,
    paths,

  points.A = new Point(10, 10);
  points.B = new Point(90, 30);

  paths.AB = new Path().move(points.A).line(points.B);

  snippets.x = new Snippet("notch", utils.beamIntersectsX(points.A, points.B, 40));

  paths.help = new Path()
    .move(new Point(40, 5))
    .line(new Point(40, 35))
    .attr("class", "note dashed");
