3.9.7: Line-Line Intersection

This component takes two lists of lines as input: "Intersecting" lines and lines "ToIntersect". It tests which of the lines in "ToIntersect" get intersected by lines in "Intersecting". Output-plug “IP” delivers a list of intersection points. “LSS” returns all the line-segments resulting from the intersection. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the list of input lines in "ToIntersect" and the data-tree branches with line-segments at “LSS”. The input-plug “LDist” sets the tolerance length in meter for finding intersections between lines that do not actually intersect. “LDist” is also the minimum length of segments at the ends of lines (e.g. at T-intersections). The component can deal with corner cases where intersecting line lie within lines to intersect or touch them (see fig. 3.9.7.1).
