Mixed-Language Development & SWIG
By Phil Thomson, January 01, 2004
Phil uses SWIG to wrap C++ classes so that they are available from Ruby. In the process, he uncovers several benefits of doing mixed-language development with C++ and Ruby.

Listing 2: line.h.
class Line
{
protected:
Point start;
Point end;
public:
Line(Point s, Point e):start(s),end(e) {};
Line(){};
Point getStart() { return start; }
Point getEnd() { return end; }
bool is_vertical() { return (start.x() == end.x()); }
bool is_horizontal() { return (start.y() == end.y()); }
float slope() { return (start.y()-end.y())/(end.x()-start.x()); }
float yintercept();
bool parallel(Line* other);
Point* intersection(Line* other){return NULL;}
};
