Line-cylinder intersection
text:
Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all. Or there may be one or two points of intersection. Or a line may lie along the surface of a cylinder, parallel to its axis, resulting in infinitely many points of intersection. The method described here distinguishes between these cases, and when intersections exist, computes their
