Description:
 def clip_range(nodes1, nodes2):
 r"""Reduce the parameter range where two curves can intersect. Does so by using the "fat line" for ``nodes1`` and computing the distance polynomial against ``nodes2``. .. note:: This assumes, but does not check that the curves being considered will only have one intersection in the parameter ranges :math:`s \in \left[0, 1\right]`, :math:`t \in \left[0, 1\right]`. This assumption is based on the fact that B |eacute| zier clipping is meant to be used to find tangent intersections for already subdivided (i.e. sufficiently zoomed in) curve segments. Args: nodes1 (numpy.ndarray):
 ``2 x N1`` array of nodes in a curve which will define the clipping region. nodes2 (numpy.ndarray):
 ``2 x N2`` array of nodes in a curve which will be clipped. Returns: Tuple[float, float]: The pair of * The start parameter of the clipped range. * The end parameter of the clipped range. """
