Intersection

 Intersection of two objects
 Necessary Objects:
  • line
  • line
    or
  • line
  • circle

  • circle
  • circle
  
 Created Object:
  • point(s)
 
An intersection requires two objects as input, which have to be clicked successively.

  • Intersection: line1 - line1

    A point of intersection appears. As soon as both lines1 become parallel it vanishes. The point of intersection does not exist on the board anymore, but still exists internally - it is not deleted. All objects depending on the point are hidden as well. In the list "Objects" in the dialogue  object properties these objects are displayed gray. Segments and rays are treated as lines.

  • Intersection: line1 - circle

    In this case both points of intersection are created. If the line1 and the circle do not intersect anymore, all points of intersection and objects depending on them are hidden.

  • Schnitt: Circle - circle

    As before two points of intersection are created, which as the case may be are hidden.

The intersection of two objects can also be created directly. A mouse click on the place where both objects intersect while being in  Point-mode is enough. If one of the objects is a circle the other point of intersection is created as well.
