Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi ,

I donot understand the t-output of the CLX(Curve&Line Intersection) component .I think it should stand for parameter(s) on the input curve(s), but it seems not...any tips?

It does. Why do you think it doesn't?

I've found this to be not what I expected as well and had to use the CurveCP to get the correct value of t. But couldn't remember where I'd seen it to tell you.

Weird, I just tested it (put the t output into the Evaluate Curve) and the result was correct. But I'm testing this in 0.7 which might behave differently...

The t parameter of the CLX component seems to be the parameter of the line, not of the curve.

For horizontal and vertical lines the start of the parameter matches the bounding box of the curve. I'm not sure about diagonal lines.
Hi David,see the following picture :


It is strange that the t params is larger than 1 .And as Danny Boyes says, a CurveCP componnet has to be used to get correct ts.

Hi Vicente, the strange ts seems not the parameter of the line, for if the input line is changed ,these ts are the same.
I think Vicente is correct. Those two numbers (1.4 and 53.6) seem to correspond visually with the distance from the intersection line start to those points (left to right). Know that the intersection line is changed so that it only travels through the curve boundingbox, so the line you see on the screen is not the line that is used internally.

If I swapped the line and the curve in the intersection function, then the parameters would be reversed. If this is indeed the case, then it seems I have already fixed it for 0.7, because I can evaluate the curve at the [t] parameters and get my intersection points back.

Thanks for this explanation.I know in gh some data types will auto translate from one type to another.And good to know we will get a more useful CLX component .Thanks.
