title: utils.curvesIntersect()
---

The `utils.curvesIntersect()` function finds the intersections between two curves
described by 4 points each.

## Signature

```js
array | false utils.curvesIntersect(
  Point startA, 
  Point Cp1A,
  Point Cp2A,
  Point endA,
  Point startB, 
  Point Cp1B,
  Point Cp2B,
  Point endB)
```

## Example

```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, Snippet, snippets, utils, getId, part }) => {

  points.B = new Point(110, 70)
  points.Bcp = new Point(-210, 40)
  
  points.C = new Point(20, -5)
  points.Ccp = new Point(60, 300)
  points.D = new Point(100, 85)
  points.Dcp = new Point(70, -220)
  paths.curveA = new Path()
