How to know if a line intersects a plane in C#?

问题:

I have two points (a line segment) and a rectangle. I would like to know how to calculate if the line segment intersects the rectangle.

From my "Geometry" class:

    private PointF p1;
    private PointF p2;

    public Line(PointF p1, PointF p2)

        this.p2 = p2;
    }

    public PointF P1
    {
        get { return p1; }
        set { p1 = value; }
    }

    public PointF P2
    {
        get { return p2; }
        set { p2 = value; }
    }

    public float X1
    {
        get { return p1.X; }
        set { p1.X = value; }
    }

    public float X2
    {
        get { return p2.X; }
        set { p2.X = value; }
    }

Do http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Line-LineIntersection.html for the line and each side of the rectangle.

回答3:

since it is missing i'll just add it for completeness

public static Intersection IntersectionOf(Line line1, Line line2)
    {
        //  Fail if either line segment is zero-length.
        if (line1.X1 == line1.X2 && line1.Y1 == line1.Y2 || line2.X1 == line2.X2 && line2.Y1 == line2.Y2)
            return Intersection.None;

        if (line1.X1 == line2.X1 && line1.Y1 == line2.Y1 || line1.X2 == line2.X1 && line1.Y2 == line2.Y1)
            return Intersection.Intersection;
        if (line1.X1 == line2.X2 && line1.Y1 == line2.Y2 || line1.X2 == line2.X2 && line1.Y2 == line2.Y2)
            return Intersection.Intersection;

        //  (1) Translate the system so that point A is on the origin.
        line1.X2 -= line1.X1; line1.Y2 -= line1.Y1;
        line2.X1 -= line1.X1; line2.Y1 -= line1.Y1;
        line2.X2 -= line1.X1; line2.Y2 -= line1.Y1;

        //  Discover the length of segment A-B.
        double distAB = Math.Sqrt(line1.X2 * line1.X2 + line1.Y2 * line1.Y2);

        //  (2) Rotate the system so that point B is on the positive X axis.
        double theCos = line1.X2 / distAB;
        double theSin = line1.Y2 / distAB;
        double newX = line2.X1 * theCos + line2.Y1 * theSin;
        line2.Y1 = line2.Y1 * theCos - line2.X1 * theSin; line2.X1 = newX;
        newX = line2.X2 * theCos + line2.Y2 * theSin;
        line2.Y2 = line2.Y2 * theCos - line2.X2 * theSin; line2.X2 = newX;

        //  Fail if segment C-D doesn't cross line A-B.
        if (line2.Y1 < 0 && line2.Y2 < 0 || line2.Y1 >= 0 && line2.Y2 >= 0)
            return Intersection.None;

        //  (3) Discover the position of the intersection point along line A-B.
        double posAB = line2.X2 + (line2.X1 - line2.X2) * line2.Y2 / (line2.Y2 - line2.Y1);

        //  Fail if segment C-D crosses line A-B outside of segment A-B.
        if (posAB < 0 || posAB > distAB)
            return Intersection.None;

        //  (4) Apply the discovered position to line A-B in the original coordinate system.
        return Intersection.Intersection;
    }

note that the method rotates the line segments so as to avoid direction-related problems

回答4:

If it is 2d, then all lines are on the only plane.

So, this is basic 3-D geometry. You should be able to do this with a straightforward equation.

Check out this page:

http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/planeline/.

The second solution should be easy to implement, as long as you translate the coordinates of your rectangle into the equation of a plane.

Furthermore, check that your denominator isn't zero (line doesn't intersect or is contained in the plane).

回答5:

Use class:

System.Drawing.Rectangle

Method:

IntersectsWith();

回答6:

I hate browsing the MSDN docs (they're awfully slow and weird :-s) but I think they should have something similar to this Java method... and if they haven't, bad for them! XD (btw, it works for segments, not lines).

In any case, you can peek the open source Java SDK to see how is it implemented, maybe you'll learn some new trick (I'm always surprised when I look other people's code)

回答7:

Isn't it possible to check the line against each side of the rectangle using simple line segment formula.
