title: utils.beamIntersectsLine()
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `utils.beamIntersectsLine()` function finds the intersection between an endless
|
||
|
line (beam) and a (limited) line segment. Returns a [Point](/reference/api/point) object for the
|
||
|
intersection, or `false` if the beam doesn't intersect the line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first two points in the parameter list form the beam, the last two points form the line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Signature
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
Point | false utils.beamIntersectsLine(
|
||
|
Point beamA,
|
||
|
Point beamB,
|
||
|
Point lineA,
|
||
|
Point lineB
|
||
|
)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
