Python module for geometric Line operations implmented in C++ then binded to python, and it is optimized for speed. I created this module to use in a project where I needed to do many of such calculations.
$ pip install FastLineor
git clone https://github.com/MrGolden1/FastLine.git
cd FastLine
pip install .from FastLine import Line
# define a line by two points
l1 = Line(p1=(0,0), p2=(10,10))
# define a line by its slope and intercept
l2 = Line(m=4, b=-1)solve: takes x or y as argument and return the corresponding value
>>> l1.solve(x=20)
20.0
>>> l2.solve(y=20)
5.25distance_to: takes a point as argument and return the nearest distance to the line.
>>> l1.distance_to((20,50))
21.213203435596427
>>> l2.distance_to((-15,17))
18.91777875283397crossed_by: takes a point as argument and return a value in [-1,0,1] (upon a specific side, upon the line, uopn opposite side). You'd need to calibrate what each side is.
>>> l1.crossed_by((20,50)) # specific side
1
>>> l1.crossed_by((50,50)) # on the line
0
>>> l1.crossed_by((-20,-50)) # opposite side
-1intersection: takes a line as argument and return the intersection point. If two lines are parallel, it returns None.
>>> l1.intersection(l2)
