Struct geo_types::Line

source ·
pub struct Line<T>where
    T: CoordinateType,
{ pub start: Coordinate<T>, pub end: Coordinate<T>, }
Expand description

A line segment made up of exactly two Points

Fields

start: Coordinate<T>end: Coordinate<T>

Implementations

Creates a new line segment.

Examples
use geo_types::{Coordinate, Line};

let line = Line::new(
    Coordinate { x: 0., y: 0. },
    Coordinate { x: 1., y: 2. },
);

assert_eq!(line.start, Coordinate { x: 0., y: 0. });
assert_eq!(line.end, Coordinate { x: 1., y: 2. });

Calculate the difference in ‘x’ components (Δx).

Equivalent to:

line.end.x - line.start.x

Calculate the difference in ‘y’ components (Δy).

Equivalent to:

line.end.y - line.start.y

Calculate the slope (Δy/Δx).

Equivalent to:

line.dy() / line.dx()

Note that:

Line::new(a, b).slope() ==
    Line::new(b, a).slope()

Calculate the determinant of the line.

Equivalent to:

line.start.x * line.end.y -
    line.start.y * line.end.x

Note that:

Line::new(a, b).determinant() ==
    -Line::new(b, a).determinant()
