I need a good source for reading up on how to create a algorithm to take two polylines (a path comprised of many lines) and performing a union, subtraction, or intersection between them. This is tied to a custom API so I need to understand the underlying algorithm.
Plus any sources in a VB dialect would be doubly helpful.
This catalogue of implementations of intersection algorithms from the Stony Brook Algorithm Repository might be useful. The repository is managed by Steven Skiena, author of a very well respected book on algorithms: The Algorithm Design Manual.
That’s his own Amazon exec link by the way 🙂
