Thanks for your help, Justin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list I don't know if it is well known, but you could take a look at Euclid: http://partiallydisassembled.net/euclid.html The geometry support is pretty basic. max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I need to reference it myself, and will look later. In the meantime, a Google search on robotics imaging line intersection might do the the trick. Now that I think about it, the article was aimed at finding the minimal distance between two lines in space. Anyway, the Google tip might get you started. -- W. eWatson (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
