3D Intersections

There are some intersection routines for three dimensional objects. These intersections go in the same way as in two dimensions, see Chapter reference.

Object intersection ( Type1<R> obj1, Type2<R> obj2)

The return value is Object. This is a special kind of object that can contain an object of any type.

Here we describe the types that can be contained in the Object return value for every possible pair of geometric objects.
