Segment

class Segment(A, B)

Bases: Line

A finite line segment from A to B.

__init__(A, B)

Methods

__init__(A, B)
length()	Length of the segment (|B - A|).
parameter_from_point(point)	For the line T = A + t(B-A), return t such that T = point (if on the line).
sample(n)	Split the segment into n evenly spaced complex points (inclusive).
set_orientation(start_point, end_point)	Set orientation so that A is closer to start_point and B closer to end_point.
shorten(length, side[, inplace])	Shorten by length on side 'A' or 'B'.

length()

Length of the segment (|B - A|).

set_orientation(start_point, end_point)

Set orientation so that A is closer to start_point and B closer to end_point.

shorten(length, side, inplace=False)

Shorten by length on side ‘A’ or ‘B’.

sample(n)

Split the segment into n evenly spaced complex points (inclusive).

parameter_from_point(point)

For the line T = A + t(B-A), return t such that T = point (if on the line).
