Hi everyone,
I'm looking for suggestions to find the intersection of two polygons and hatch the result.

The most particular case concerns the hatching of a part of polygon intersected by a straight line.

I know some basic of X-Y plot to draw a polygon...

Perhaps the GPC (general polygon clipping library) wrapper plugin might help. The basics are described in section G.3 of the german handbook.

You also might have a look at the hatch and fill snippet.

Otherwise, piece wise from native Smath ... just demo.

Hi. Maybe you also can check this discussion: https://en.smath.com/forum/yaf_postst11405_Line-intersections.aspx

Best regards.

IMHO, I don't see much interest for polygon intersection.

thank you all, I will do some application

Question:

How would you then calculate / determine the length of the clipped line?
Interested for tension and shear lengths in unusual shapes

From the attached Smath document.

From coords, using Pitagora's theorem

Very nice.
