NAME

       Geometry::Primitive::Line - A Line

DESCRIPTION

       Geometry::Primitive::Line represents a straight curve defined by two points.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Geometry::Primitive::Line;

	 my $line = Geometry::Primitive::Line->new();
	 $line->start($point1);
	 $line->end($point2);

ATTRIBUTES

   end
       Set/Get the end point of the line.

   start
       Set/Get the start point of the line.

METHODS

   new
       Creates a new Geometry::Primitive::Line

   contains_point
       Returns true if the supplied point is 'on' the line.  Accepts either a point object or an x y pair.

   grow
       Does nothing, as I'm not sure how.  Patches or hints welcome.

   is_parallel ($other_line)
       Returns true if the supplied line is parallel to this one.

   is_perpendicular ($other_line)
       Returns true if the supplied line is perpendicular to this one.

   length
       Get the length of the line.

   point_end
       Get the end point.  Provided for Shape role.

   point_start
       Get the start point.  Provided for Shape role.

   scale
       Does nothing at the moment.

   slope
       Get the slope of the line.

   to_string
       Guess!

   y_intercept
       Returns the Y intercept of this line.

NAME

       Geometry::Primitive - Primitive Geometry Entities

SYNOPSIS

       Geometry::Primitive is a device and library agnostic system for representing geometric entities such as points, lines and shapes.  It
       provides simple objects and many convenience methods you would expect from a simple geometry library.

	   use Geometry::Primitive::Point;

	   my $foo = Geometry::Primitive::Point->new(x => 1, y => 3);
	   ...

DISCLAIMER

       I'm not a math guy. I hate math. I will likely learn a lot in the process of making this library. If you are a math person you will
       probably look at this and find many things missing or wrong. Patches are encouraged. I will likely find that I've done something completely
       wrong having taken geometry over 10 years ago.  C'est la vie.

ENTITIES

       Arc
       Bezier
       Circle
       Ellipse
       Line
       Point
       Polygon
       Rectangle

SERIALIZATON

       All of the entities in this library support serialization via MooseX::Storage.  This is primarily to support serialization in consumers of
       this library, but may be useful for other purposes.  All classes are set to JSON format and File IO.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       Many of the ideas here come from my experience using the Cairo library.
