Hi Tom,
Please keep the discussion in ht emailing list
Indeed, geometry is lagging behind upstream matgeom, but i am working
on that. This bug was fixed not long ago. Replace parallelLine with
this code
function res = parallelLine(line, point)
if size (point, 2) == 1
# use a distance. Compute position of point located at distance DIST on
# the line orthogonal to the first one.
point = pointOnLine([line(:,1) line(:,2) line(:,4) -line(:,3)], point);
end
# normal case: compute line through a point with given direction
res = zeros (size (line, 1), 4);
res(:, 1:2) = point;
res(:, 3:4) = line(:, 3:4);
endfunction
This will be fixed in the next release of geometry.
