+For already existing, intersecting objects (lines and arcs), the user may +define cutting edges that can manipulate target objects they intersect. There +are two actions for cutting edges: trim() and split(). The first argument of +these actions is: +
+The objects participating may be on different layers. All calculation use +the centerline of the objects. +
+In a trim operation the target objects are cut at the intersection point, +excess parts (at the click) removed. If there are multiple cutting edges, +the shortest possible section is removed. The below examples are generated +with trim(selected), clicking on the horizontal line at the small +triangle mark. +
+ +
+In a split operation target objects are split into multiple section wherever +they cross a cutting edge. A split means a single line object becomes multiple +line objects or a single arc object becomes multiple arc objects. +
