Hi there,

Here's a helpful macro to compute the intersection of two lines, given their
starting coordinates and angles. I'm not a mathematician and I'm sure there's a
better way to solve this problem, but it seems to work. Both points must be on
the x, y plane but you can easily adapt it for other situations. The macro
won't tell you if the lines never intersect, so you'll need to be careful.

Regards,
Dave Blandston

I forgot to mention the source code is posted in the "POV-Ray Text Files" >
"scene-files" group.
