- Add path.intersectsBeam() method - Add utils.beamIntersectsLine() method - Simplify calculation and improve precision on beam intersections - Document return types properly - beamIntersectsCurve now uses the proper function from Bezier library instead of emulating it by constructing a huge line - docs: path.intersect... methods never return false, they simply return an empty array in case of no intersection

title: utils.beamsIntersect()
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The `utils.beamsIntersect()` function finds the intersection between two endless
|
|
lines (beams). Returns a [Point](/reference/api/point) object for the
|
|
intersection, or `false` if the lines don't intersect.
|
|
|
|
## Signature
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
Point | false utils.beamsIntersect(
|
|
Point A,
|
|
Point B,
|
|
Point C,
|
|
Point D
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example

<Example caption="A Utils.beamsIntersect() example">
|
|
```js
|
|
({ Point, points, Path, paths, Snippet, snippets, utils, part }) => {

|
|
points.B = new Point(50, 40)
|
|
points.C = new Point(45, 20)
|
|
points.D = new Point(60, 15)
|
|
|
|

|
|
paths.CD = new Path().move(points.C).line(points.D)
