Expand description
Where two surfaces meet: the one call.
Everything else in this crate is a stage: closed forms, seeding, tracing,
fitting. This is the function an application calls, and the one ogeom-bool
will build on: give it two surfaces, get back what they do to each other,
with the analytic path taken where it exists and the marched-and-fitted
path where it does not. The caller does not choose; the pair does.
Elsewhere this is GeomAPI_IntSS over IntPatch/GeomInt: one entry
point hiding an analytic dispatch and a walking intersector.
§What a section curve carries
Three descriptions, because three consumers: the curve in space for the
edge, and a pcurve per surface for the faces; face splitting happens in
parameter space, and a curve a face cannot express is one it cannot be
split along. Analytic results carry exact pcurves where the projection has
a closed form and None where it does not; fitted results always carry
fitted pcurves, because the tracer recorded the parameters as it walked.
A pcurve here is same-parameter with its 3D curve: evaluating either at
the same t lands on the same point of the intersection. That is the claim
docs/DATA_MODEL.md §6 makes edges carry, and it is arranged here by
construction (the 2D curves inherit the 3D curve’s own parameterization)
rather than asserted and repaired later.
