PS Script to Calculate The Number of Times One Path Intersects with Another

[Jason21999592z077]

I wanted to see if anyone has work with a script to check how many times one path intersects with another.  I have a script that places a couple of straight paths and I want to branch based on the number of intersections.

For instance this would return "2"

and this 4

There are cases depending on the count that I will either want to remove path or move the path, but I having figured out how to evaluate the intersections via script.

Thanks!

I can offer you this option.

Create an empty layer. Set the foreground color to 128.

Stroke the first path with a 1px pencil set to Screen mode.

Do the same stroke with the second path.

Leave only this layer visible.

In the histogram, the number of pixels with a brightness of 192 will be the answer.

PS. I don't have a ready script. But maybe someone will do it. )

Thanks for the idea.  I ended up doing something real similar by stroking both paths in their own layer, creating and intesection selection, then pasting the intersecting pixels in a third layer and counting the pixels with the histogram.
