// Spread between vectors

API
Points
Points are just regular arrays of rational number objectss.
Lines
Lines are represented by one point on them and a direction vector
This gm.line([R(0),R(3,2)],[R(6),R(-3)])
returns an object with
properties base
as the point and vector
as the direction vector.
This is the same line as x+2y=3
.
Quadrance between points
Returns the rational trigonometry definition of the quadrance as a rational number object
(basicaly square of the distance in Euclidean geometry)
gm.Q([R(3),R(-12)],[R(15),R(4)]) // R(400)
Spread between vectors
Returns the rational trigonometry definition of the spread as a rational number object
(it is a rational alternative to the concept of angle)
gm.S(line2D_4.vector, line2D_5.vector) // R(1)
