Intersection of curves I

From JSXGraph Wiki

The underlying JavaScript code

var board = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox', {
    axis:true,
    boundingbox:[-15, 10, 10, -10]
});

var p = [];
p.push(board.create('point', [0, -5]));
p.push(board.create('point', [-5, 0]));
p.push(board.create('point', [-3, 3]));

var curve1 = board.create('ellipse', p, {strokeColor: 'black'});

var curve2 = board.create('curve', [function(phi){return 4 * Math.cos(2*phi); }, 
                                    [0, 0], 
                                    0, 2 * Math.PI],
                      {curveType:'polar', strokeColor: 'blue', strokewidth:1});


var clip_path = board.create('curve', [[], []], {strokeWidth: 3, fillColor: 'yellow', fillOpacity: 0.3});
clip_path.updateDataArray = function() {
    var a = JXG.Math.Clip.intersection(curve2, curve1, this.board);

    this.dataX = a[0];
    this.dataY = a[1];
};

board.update();
