Lines

group lines

Klein provides three line classes: "line", "branch", and "ideal_line". The line class represents a full six-coordinate bivector. The branch contains three non-degenerate components (aka, a line through the origin). The ideal line represents the line at infinity. When the line is created as a meet of two planes or join of two points (or carefully selected Plücker coordinates), it will be a Euclidean line (factorizable as the meet of two vectors).
