GetIntersection(pl1, pl2)
pl1, pl2
-
list, Line, Plane ; points or Line or Plane objects defined by Student[MultivariateCalculus].
the empty set, , if the lines or planes don't intersect.
a list of coordinate values, if the intersection is a point.
a Line or Plane object, if that is the intersection.
The GetIntersection command obtains the intersection of two point, Line, or Plane objects as understood by the Student[MultivariateCalculus] package.
The Intersects command can be used to test if lines and/or planes intersect.
The empty set, denoted by , is returned if the lines or planes do not intersect.
If one object is contained in another, then their intersection is the smaller object. In particular, the intersection of any object with itself is that object .
The Student[MultivariateCalculus][GetIntersection] command was introduced in Maple 17.
