RAYS2D Description of functions operating on planar rays. A ray is defined by a point (its origin), and a vector (its direction). The different parameters are bundled into a row vector: RAY = [x0 y0 dx dy]; The ray contains all the points (x,y) such that: x = x0 + t*dx y = y0 + t*dy; for all t>0 Contrary to a (straight) line, the points located before the origin do not belong to the ray. However, as rays and lines have the same representation, some functions working on lines are also working on rays (like 'transformLine').
