"Two rectangles, do they intersect?"
| |
Hi, I have a math problem I have to solve for a computer program I am writing. I have two rectangles, and I need an algorithm to see if at any point the two rectangles intersect. I have the x and y values of all the points of each rectangle. Is their a fast and easy way to do this? woodsc@f00f.net |

Assume you want to establish whether two infinite horizontal strips intersect or not. What would you do? Assume for one of them a <= y <= a + A, for the other
b <= y <= b + B. When do they intersect? A similar question for a couple of infinite strips is solved
analogously. Now note that every rectangle is an intersection of two infinite strips: one horizontal, the other vertical. |
