MATLAB: How to get the intersection points ?

intersection_points

Hi all, I have the following code to get the intersection points between these multiple lines and these multiple circles.
%%center of circles
X = [0.02 0.44; 0.08 0.58 ;...
0.22 0.57; 0.3 0.9; ...
0.44 0.79; 0.35 0.318;...
0.54 0.29; 0.95 0.11;...
0.93 0.7; 0.82 0.93];
C_M=[X(:,1) X(:,2)];
hold on
%%Assign labels to the points.
Assign_labels_to_all_points ( X ,X(:,1),X(:,2))
hold on
%%Draw circles
theta = linspace(0,2*pi) ;
x = 0.15*cos(theta) ; y =0.15*sin(theta) ;
C_M=[X(:,1),X(:,2)];
deg = 0 : 2.5 : 90;
for i=1:length(deg)
r =2;
x_ax = r*[zeros(size(deg(i))) cosd(deg(i))];
y_ax = r*[zeros(size(deg(i))) sind(deg(i))];
%%plot lines with different angles
plot(x_ax, y_ax, 'LineWidth',1.3)
for index = 1:length(C_M)
if ~isinf(C_M(index))
xx = x+C_M(index,1);
yy = y+C_M(index,2);
%%plot circles
plot(xx,yy,'-b','linewidth',1.5)
for j=1:length(deg)
P = InterX([x+C_M(index,1);y+C_M(index,2)],[r*[zeros(size(deg(j))) cosd(deg(j))];r*
[zeros(size(deg(j))) sind(deg(j))]]);
%%plot intersection points between lines and circles
plot(P(1,:),P(2,:),'or');
end
end
end
end
%%x and y axis limits
xlim([-0.2,1.2])
ylim([-0.2,1.2])
grid on
grid minor
I used the file exchange function InterX. It only draws the intersection points as the following image. But, I can't get these intersection points to store them in matrix or array.
So, my question is: How to get the intersection points between each line and the circles that intersected with that line and store them in array or matrix?? Any suggestions to modify this code??

Can't you just modify as follows,
P{i,j} = InterX([x+C_M(index,1);y+C_M(index,2)],[r*[zeros(size(deg(j))) cosd(deg(j))];r*
[zeros(size(deg(j))) sind(deg(j))]]);
%%plot intersection points between lines and circles
plot(P{i,j}(1,:),P{i,j}(2,:),'or');
