For anyone curious to the shorthand used and who wish to use a lookup table can use this as a reference. Or anyone who wishes to add a new function to the library is welcome to but it would be recommended to keep consistency. I tried to minimize the script function names to be easily readable. All the geometric function names start with a g.

g (Shape1) (Shape2) (Process) (Return (Only needed if other than integer))

Here is the legend:

Shorthand Name Description
Geometric Types, all the shapes in the library
X Point vector defining a point in space
L Line A line has an origin and a direction and is infinitely long
LS Line Segment A line segment is a finite line and therefore consists of a start and end position
R Ray A ray is like a line, except it is more distinct as it defines wether it points forward or back
P Plane A 2D doubly ruled surface of infinite size
S Sphere A sphere is defined by origin and radius (No ellipsoid functions available yet)
B Box A box primitive is six sided and defined by origin, size as well as a rotation.
C Cylinder An elliptic cylinder primitive .
VP Convex Polygon Convex Polygon defined by list of vertices.
CP Concave Polygon Concave Polygon defined by list of vertices. Automatic backward compatibility with Convex Polygons.
The Process, What does it do?
d distance Calculate distance
n nearest Calculate nearest
p project Calculates projection
x Intersection Calculates intersection
dir direction Calculates direction
Return, What kind of data do I get out of it?
Z Float Represents that a float is returned
V Vector Represents that a vector is returned
O Origin Represents the Origin of the ray or line
D Direction Direction from the Origin
E Edge Edge of a shape, such as an edge on a box, suffix may mark special case return type
