Query for edges parallel to the vector or line

Is there a common way to query edges parallel to the specific direction? As workaround I had to use qIntersectsPlane with the direction vector i need and origin specifically chosen, but it isn't very flexible solution.

    I couldn't find an easy way to query this either. You could write your own function that iterates over all linear edges ( qGeometry(qEverything(),GeometryType.LINE) ). It could identify parallel edges by using evTangentLine() to extract a direction vector and then compare that to your input edge using parallelVectors().

    @mahir thanks, it looks like more appropriate solution
