Get the start point of a line segment.

LineSegment3d.startPoint exampleLineSegment

Get the end point of a line segment.

LineSegment3d.endPoint exampleLineSegment
-- Point3d ( 4, 5, 6 )

Get the endpoints of a line segment as a tuple.

( p1, p2 ) =
    LineSegment3d.endpoints lineSegment

Reverse a line segment, swapping its start and end points.

-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( 4, 5, 6 )
--     , Point3d ( 1, 2, 3 )
--     )

Get the midpoint of a line segment.

LineSegment3d.midpoint exampleLineSegment
-- Point3d ( 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 )

Interpolate a line segment between its start and end points; a value of 0.0 corresponds to the start point of the line segment, a value of 0.5 corresponds to its midpoint and a value of 1.0 corresponds to its end point. Negative values or values greater than 1 can be used to extrapolate.

LineSegment3d.interpolate exampleLineSegment (1 / 3)
-- Point3d ( 2, 4, 5 )


LineSegment3d.interpolate exampleLineSegment (-1 / 3)
-- Point3d ( 0, 1, 2 )

Get the length of a line segment.

LineSegment3d.length exampleLineSegment
-- 5.1962

Get the squared length of a line segment. Slightly more efficient than length since it avoids a square root.

LineSegment3d.squaredLength exampleLineSegment
-- 27

Get the direction from a line segment's start point to its end point. If the line segment has zero length (the start and end points are the same), returns Nothing.

LineSegment3d.direction exampleLineSegment
-- Just (Direction3d ( 0.5774, 0.5774, 0.5774 ))

Get an arbitrary direction perpendicular to a line segment. If the line segment has zero length, returns Nothing.

LineSegment3d.normalDirection exampleLineSegment
-- Just (Direction3d ( 0, -0.7071, 0.7071 ))

Get the vector from a line segment's start point to its end point.

LineSegment3d.vector exampleLineSegment
-- Vector3d ( 2, 2, 2 )

Scale a line segment about the given center point by the given scale.

point =
    Point3d ( 1, 1, 1 )

-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( -2, 1, 3 )
--     , Point3d ( -5, 4, 6 )

Translate a line segment by a given displacement.

displacement =
    Vector3d ( 1, 2, 3 )


LineSegment3d.translateBy displacement exampleLineSegment
-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( 2, 4, 6 )
--     , Point3d ( 5, 7, 9 )

Mirror a line segment across a plane.

LineSegment3d.mirrorAcross Plane3d.xy exampleLineSegment
-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( 1, 2, -3 )
--     , Point3d ( 4, 5, -6 )

Project a line segment onto a plane.

LineSegment3d.projectOnto Plane3d.yz exampleLineSegment
-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( 0, 2, 3 )
--     , Point3d ( 0, 5, 6 )
--     )

Transform the start and end points of a line segment by a given function and create a new line segment from the resulting points. Most other transformation functions can be defined in terms of map; for example,

LineSegment3d.projectOnto Plane3d.xy

is equivalent to

LineSegment3d.map (Point3d.projectOnto Plane3d.xy)

Take a line segment defined in global coordinates, and return it expressed in local coordinates relative to a given reference frame.

localFrame =
    Frame3d.at (Point3d ( 1, 2, 3 ))


LineSegment3d.relativeTo localFrame exampleLineSegment
-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( 0, 0, 0 )
--     , Point3d ( 3, 3, 3 )
--     )

Take a line segment considered to be defined in local coordinates relative to a given reference frame, and return that line segment expressed in global coordinates.

localFrame =
    Frame3d.at (Point3d ( 1, 2, 3 ))


LineSegment3d.placeIn localFrame exampleLineSegment
-- LineSegment3d
--     ( Point3d ( 2, 4, 6 )
--     , Point3d ( 5, 7, 9 )
--     )

Project a line segment into a given sketch plane. Conceptually, this projects the line segment onto the plane and then expresses the projected line segment in 2D sketch coordinates.
