Intersection points

function intersectionpoints( path, path) { returns pair[] }

Example:

size(8cm,0);
import math;
import graph;
real r,s;
pair a,b, common;
path circ1, circ2;
r=1; s=1;
a=(0,0);
b=(1,0);
circ1=circle(a,r);
circ2=circle(b,s);
draw(circ1,linewidth(1bp));
draw(circ2,1bp+green);
pair [] x=intersectionpoints(circ1, circ2);
dot(x[0],3bp+blue);
dot(x[1],3bp+blue);
draw(x[0] -- x[1],1bp+red);

[asy]size(200,200); import math; import graph; real r,s; pair a,b, common; path circ1, circ2; r=1; s=1; a=(0,0); b=(1,0); circ1=circle(a,r); circ2=circle(b,s); draw(circ1,linewidth(1bp)); draw(circ2,1bp+green); pair [] x=intersectionpoints(circ1, circ2); dot(x[0],3bp+blue); dot(x[1],3bp+blue); draw(x[0] -- x[1],1bp+red);[/asy]

Stub stuff

Can someone put a table of contents, and hiding widgets? This page should comprised the most used functions in Asymptote for regular drawings.
