We prove that for an arbitrary measurable set A ⊂ R 2 and a σ‐finite Borel measure μ on the plane, there is a Borel set of lines L such that for each point in A , the set of directions of those lines from L containing the point is a residual set, and, moreover, μ ( Α ) = μ ( { ∪ l : l ∈ L } )We show how this result may be used to characterise the sets of the plane from which an invisible set is visible. We also characterise the rectifiable sets C 1 , C 2 for which there is a set which is visible from C 1 and invisible from C 2 .
