Expand description

A line segment made up of exactly two Coordinates.

Semantics

The interior and boundary are defined as with a LineString with the two end points.

Fields

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

Implementations

Creates a new line segment.

Examples
use geo_types::{coord, Line};

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

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

Calculate the difference in coordinates (Δx, Δy).

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()
