is_point_on_segment

compas.geometry.is_point_on_segment(point, segment, tol=None)[source]

Determine if a point lies on a given line segment.

Parameters:
point[float, float, float] | compas.geometry.Point

A point.

segment[point, point] | compas.geometry.Line

A line segment.

tolfloat, optional

Tolerance for comparing the distance between the point and the line segment to zero. Default is TOL.absolute.

Returns:
bool

True if the point is on the line segment. False otherwise.
