Algorithm for finding a rectangle constrained to its parent
- by Milo
Basically what I want to do is illustrated here:
I start with A and B, then B is conformed to A to create C.
The idea is, given TLBR rectangles A, B, make C
I also need to know if it produces an empty rectangle (B outside of A case).
I tried this but it just isn't doing what I want:
if(clipRect.getLeft() > rect.getLeft())
L = clipRect.getLeft();
else
L = rect.getLeft();
if(clipRect.getRight() < rect.getRight())
R = clipRect.getRight();
else
R = rect.getRight();
if(clipRect.getBottom() > rect.getBottom())
B = clipRect.getBottom();
else
B = rect.getBottom();
if(clipRect.getTop() < rect.getTop())
T = clipRect.getTop();
else
T = rect.getTop();
if(L < R && B < T)
{
clipRect = AguiRectangle(0,0,0,0);
}
else
{
clipRect = AguiRectangle::fromTLBR(T,L,B,R);
}
Thanks
