Infinite Lines from Point Pairs

Define infinite lines directly from pairs of points using axis=None. Each two consecutive points define one line. Here pairs of points sampled around the unit circle are used to produce lines that are roughly tangent to the circle.

# test_example = true

import fastplotlib as fpl
import numpy as np

figure = fpl.Figure(size=(700, 560))

# an even number of points sampled around a circle; each consecutive pair of points defines an infinite line
t = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 64, endpoint=False)
xs = np.sin(t)
ys = np.cos(t)
positions = np.column_stack([xs, ys, np.zeros_like(xs)])

figure[0, 0].add_inf_line(positions, axis=None, cmap="hsv", thickness=2)
figure[0, 0].axes.intersection = (0, 0, 0)

figure.show()
