:Title: Intersecting lines
:Tags: Axes, Basics, Coordinate systems

An example of using the intersection coordinate systems. Both the ``intersection`` and
``perpendicular`` coordinate system are used. The latter is a special case of the former,
but has the shorter and more convenient ``-|`` and ``|-`` syntax.
