                    Line

                    Reading time: 1min

                    It constructs a line.

                    Syntax

                    line(Point, Point)
                    
                    line(Point, Vector)
                    
                    line(Point, Real)
                    
                    line(Vector)
                    
                    line(Equation)
                    
                    line(Real, Real)
                    
                    line(Segment)
                    
                    line(Triangle, Integer)
                    
                    line(Polygon, Integer)
                    

                    Description

                    Given two points A and B, it constructs a line passing through such points. You can also extract the corresponding coefficients through the slope() and intersect() commands.

                    Given a point A and a vector v, it constructs a line passing through A with direction vector v.

                    Given a point A and a real m, it constructs a line passing through A with slope m.

                    Given a vector c=[c1,c2,c3], it constructs a line whose equation is c1x+c2y+c3=0.

                    Given an equation or equations, it constructs a line whose equation(s) are the ones we have provided.

                    Given two reals a and b (or one real and one infinity), it constructs the line that intersect with x-axis at x=a and with y-axis at y=b.

                    Given a segment, it constructs a line that contains it.

                    Given a triangle and an integer n, it constructs the line that contains the n-th edge.

                    Given a polygon or polygon and an integer n, it constructs the line that contains the n-th edge.
