Class Straight

Description

The class Straight calculates properties of straight lines between 2 points.

The the points \(a \) and \(b \) are default arguments. That means the points can be passed as an argument without a command string (see example below).

Properties

The following properties can be queried as a result or passed as an argument.

Symbols		Description	Options
	a	Start Point	default
	b	End Point	defaut
	l	Length of the line
	m	Gradient is the steepness of the line
alpha	α	Angle to the X-axis

Syntax

Object = Straight (Point a, Point b)

Object = Straight ("arg names", arguments)

Value = Straight ("get -> arg names", arguments)

Examples

The next example shows how to calculate the end position of a line when the length and angle to the x-axis are known. Starting position \(a \) is assumed to be \(x = 1 \) and \(y = 1 \).
