Intersection Line - Circle

Intersection Line - Circle

This function serves to calculate the coordinates of the intersection of a line and circle. The line is de-fined by two end points, the circle by three points.

Define the circle by entering three points (from keyboard or mouse-dragging) in the section Circle. After entering each of the points, press the button to enter the next point.

Then enter both end points of the line into the section Line.

If you enter the number of a calculated point and press the button (Calculation), the program will calculate the coordinates of the intersection. Depending on the configuration, there can be two, one or any intersections (we are using a line, not an abscissa). The calculated intersections will be displayed on the check drawing. Active (i.e. the one which is selected in the calculation window) is displayed in red. The eventual second solution is in green color.

The calculated coordinates can be mouse-dragged onto the list.
