Public Shared Function LineCylinder ( 
	line As Line,
	cylinder As Cylinder,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef intersectionPoint1 As Point3d,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef intersectionPoint2 As Point3d
) As LineCylinderIntersection

line

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Line
Line for intersection.

cylinder

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Cylinder
Cylinder for intersection.

intersectionPoint1

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Point3d
First intersection point.

intersectionPoint2

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Point3d
Second intersection point.

Type: LineCylinderIntersection
If None is returned, the first point is the point on the line closest to the cylinder and the second point is the point on the cylinder closest to the line. If Single is returned, the first point is the point on the line and the second point is the same point on the cylinder.
