Basic Examples (4) 

Fine a line intersection:

In[1]:=

Out[3]=

Show it:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Line may be used:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

A list of two lines may be used:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Scope (4) 

Find the intersection of two infinite lines:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Two lines in 3D:

In[8]:=

Find their intersection:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Show the lines and the intersection point:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

Ten thousand line pairs:

In[11]:=

Find the intersections and get timing:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

In the documentation for InfiniteLine, the following method is used:

In[13]:=

That method is slower:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

RegionIntersection may also be used:

In[15]:=

That method is also slower:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=

All three methods give the same results:

In[17]:=

Out[17]=

Inexact values may be used:

In[18]:=

Out[20]=

Possible Issues (3) 

The lines are considered to be infinite lines, thus the intersection point may not be on the defining segments:

In[21]:=

Out[23]=

Show it:

In[24]:=

Out[24]=

Degenerate lines will not return an intersection point:

In[25]:=

Out[27]=

Parallel lines will not return an intersection point:

In[28]:=

Out[30]=
