I just started to use the mapping toolbox. Can anyone help me with
the cryptic polyxpoly? Suppose I have two line segments:
  x1 = [0;1;2]'; y1 = x1;
  x2 = x1; y2 = [2;1;0]';
Obviously, the two line segments [x1,y1] and [x2,y2] intercept at
point (1,1), but the MATLAB polyxpoly
[x,y,ii] = polyxpoly(x1,y1,x2,y2) gives the cryptic
 x =
    1
    1
    1
    1
 y =
    1
    1
    1
    1
ii =

     1 1
     1 2
     2 1
     2 2

Thanks.

That's the due to the algorithm used by the function.
Use
 [x,y,ii] = polyxpoly(x1,y1,x2,y2,'unique')
to get only one point
