I was also wondering how to use HitTest for a script I am planning to make. For my purposes, I would like to know the point were 2 lines cross.

I would also love to see an example if anyone has one.

i know this thread is amazingly old and that there's a lot of inactvity on this board, but i found this illustrator java example that might offer some insight into this

Hi
Here is an example.

function onMouseDrag(event) {
  var radius = Math.random() * 10 + 10;
  var ht = activeDocument.hitTest(event.point, HitTest.TEST_PATHS, radius);
  if(ht == null){
    activeDocument.createCircle(event.point, radius);
  } else {
    // Dialog.alert(ht);         // shows its elements
    // var target = ht.getArt(); // gets the path which hit
  }
}

As far as I know
1. Tolerance unit is pixel. it depends on the current zoom factor.
2. Tested area is a rectangle. not a circle.

Path.hitTest() has an argument called "epsilon". I don't know what it is.
