I'll give it a try:
| int
| vtkCellLocator::IntersectWithLine(
| double a0[3], double a1[3], double tol,
| double &t, double x[3], double pcoords[3], int &subId)
This method takes as input:
- `a0' and `a1': (global) coordinates of the two endpoints of the finite
line segment to be intersected with
- `tol': tolerance (directly in "units" of the coordinate system)
It produces:
- return value: non-zero if there was an intersection, in that case the
following return parameters hold:
- `t': parametric coordinate along the line segment where the
intersection occurred
- `x': global coordinates of the intersection
- `pcoords': same coordinates in parametric representation
- `subId': sub-ID of intersected cell
I am not entirely sure, any corrections are welcome. Might help you to
get on the right track, though.
Regards
Obada
