Name lineIntersection ( )
Description Calculates the intersection of two continuous lines.

The algorithm is explained here: http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/lineline2d/
Syntax 
lineIntersection(p1, p2, p3, p4);
Parameters
p1,p2,p3,p4   two pair of vectors each defining a line (Vect2,Vect2,Vect2,Vect2)
Returns null if there is no intersection, otherwise a vector containing the intersection coordinate (Vect2)

import point2line.*;

Vect2[] line1;
Vect2[] line2;

void setup()

  size( 200, 200 );

  fill( 255, 0, 0 );
  stroke( 255 );

  line1 = new Vect2[ 2 ];
  line1[ 0 ] = new Vect2( 0, height* 0.4 );
  line1[ 1 ] = new Vect2( width, height* 0.9 );
  
  line2 = new Vect2[ 2 ];
  line2[ 0 ] = new Vect2( width*0.5, 0 );
  line2[ 1 ] = new Vect2(); // will be updateed by the mouse
}


void draw()
