segment(Point3D,Point3D) -- a line segment from two points

Synopsis

• Function: segment

• Usage:

  segment(p,q)

• Inputs:
  • p, an instance of the type Point3D
  • q, an instance of the type Point3D
• Outputs:
  • an instance of the type Segment3D, the line segment with endpoints p and q

Description

i1 : p=point(2.1, 3.,4.)

o1 = Point3D{2, 3, 4}

o1 : Point3D

i2 : q=point(.4, 4.6,5.3)

o2 = Point3D{0, 5, 5}

o2 : Point3D

i3 : segment(p,q)

o3 = Segment3D{Point3D{2, 3, 4}, Point3D{0, 5, 5}}

o3 : Segment3D
