如果矩形的每条边都是一条线段，并且用户绘制的部分也是一条线段，那么您只需检查用户绘制的线段是否与四条边线段相交。这应该是一个相当简单的练习，给定每个段的起点和终点。

以下是对加文回答的改进。马普的解决方案也类似，但都没有推迟分割。

这实际上也是Gareth Rees的答案的一个实际应用，因为向量积在2D中的等价是补点积，这段代码用了其中的三个。切换到3D并使用叉积，在最后插入s和t，结果是3D中直线之间的两个最近点。 不管怎样，2D解:

int get_line_intersection(float p0_x, float p0_y, float p1_x, float p1_y, 
    float p2_x, float p2_y, float p3_x, float p3_y, float *i_x, float *i_y)
{
    float s02_x, s02_y, s10_x, s10_y, s32_x, s32_y, s_numer, t_numer, denom, t;
    s10_x = p1_x - p0_x;
    s10_y = p1_y - p0_y;
    s32_x = p3_x - p2_x;
    s32_y = p3_y - p2_y;

    denom = s10_x * s32_y - s32_x * s10_y;
    if (denom == 0)
        return 0; // Collinear
    bool denomPositive = denom > 0;

    s02_x = p0_x - p2_x;
    s02_y = p0_y - p2_y;
    s_numer = s10_x * s02_y - s10_y * s02_x;
    if ((s_numer < 0) == denomPositive)
        return 0; // No collision

    t_numer = s32_x * s02_y - s32_y * s02_x;
    if ((t_numer < 0) == denomPositive)
        return 0; // No collision

    if (((s_numer > denom) == denomPositive) || ((t_numer > denom) == denomPositive))
        return 0; // No collision
    // Collision detected
    t = t_numer / denom;
    if (i_x != NULL)
        *i_x = p0_x + (t * s10_x);
    if (i_y != NULL)
        *i_y = p0_y + (t * s10_y);

    return 1;
}

基本上，它将除法延迟到最后一刻，并将大多数测试移动到某些计算完成之前，从而增加了早期退出。最后，它还避免了直线平行时的除零情况。

您可能还想考虑使用ε检验，而不是与零比较。非常接近平行的线会产生稍微偏离的结果。这不是一个bug，这是浮点数学的一个限制。

这对我来说很有效。从这里拍的。

 // calculates intersection and checks for parallel lines.  
 // also checks that the intersection point is actually on  
 // the line segment p1-p2  
 Point findIntersection(Point p1,Point p2,  
   Point p3,Point p4) {  
   float xD1,yD1,xD2,yD2,xD3,yD3;  
   float dot,deg,len1,len2;  
   float segmentLen1,segmentLen2;  
   float ua,ub,div;  

   // calculate differences  
   xD1=p2.x-p1.x;  
   xD2=p4.x-p3.x;  
   yD1=p2.y-p1.y;  
   yD2=p4.y-p3.y;  
   xD3=p1.x-p3.x;  
   yD3=p1.y-p3.y;    

   // calculate the lengths of the two lines  
   len1=sqrt(xD1*xD1+yD1*yD1);  
   len2=sqrt(xD2*xD2+yD2*yD2);  

   // calculate angle between the two lines.  
   dot=(xD1*xD2+yD1*yD2); // dot product  
   deg=dot/(len1*len2);  

   // if abs(angle)==1 then the lines are parallell,  
   // so no intersection is possible  
   if(abs(deg)==1) return null;  

   // find intersection Pt between two lines  
   Point pt=new Point(0,0);  
   div=yD2*xD1-xD2*yD1;  
   ua=(xD2*yD3-yD2*xD3)/div;  
   ub=(xD1*yD3-yD1*xD3)/div;  
   pt.x=p1.x+ua*xD1;  
   pt.y=p1.y+ua*yD1;  

   // calculate the combined length of the two segments  
   // between Pt-p1 and Pt-p2  
   xD1=pt.x-p1.x;  
   xD2=pt.x-p2.x;  
   yD1=pt.y-p1.y;  
   yD2=pt.y-p2.y;  
   segmentLen1=sqrt(xD1*xD1+yD1*yD1)+sqrt(xD2*xD2+yD2*yD2);  

   // calculate the combined length of the two segments  
   // between Pt-p3 and Pt-p4  
   xD1=pt.x-p3.x;  
   xD2=pt.x-p4.x;  
   yD1=pt.y-p3.y;  
   yD2=pt.y-p4.y;  
   segmentLen2=sqrt(xD1*xD1+yD1*yD1)+sqrt(xD2*xD2+yD2*yD2);  

   // if the lengths of both sets of segments are the same as  
   // the lenghts of the two lines the point is actually  
   // on the line segment.  

   // if the point isn’t on the line, return null  
   if(abs(len1-segmentLen1)>0.01 || abs(len2-segmentLen2)>0.01)  
     return null;  

   // return the valid intersection  
   return pt;  
 }  

 class Point{  
   float x,y;  
   Point(float x, float y){  
     this.x = x;  
     this.y = y;  
   }  

   void set(float x, float y){  
     this.x = x;  
     this.y = y;  
   }  
 }  

FWIW，下面的函数(在C中)既检测线的交点，又确定交点。这是基于Andre LeMothe的“Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus”中的一个算法。这与其他答案(例如Gareth的答案)中的一些算法并没有什么不同。然后LeMothe使用克莱默法则(不要问我)来解这些方程。

我可以证明它在我的小行星克隆中起作用，并且似乎正确地处理了Elemental, Dan和Wodzu在其他答案中描述的边缘情况。它也可能比KingNestor发布的代码快，因为它都是乘法和除法，没有平方根!

我想这里有一些除以0的可能性，尽管在我的例子中这不是问题。很容易修改以避免崩溃。

// Returns 1 if the lines intersect, otherwise 0. In addition, if the lines 
// intersect the intersection point may be stored in the floats i_x and i_y.
char get_line_intersection(float p0_x, float p0_y, float p1_x, float p1_y, 
    float p2_x, float p2_y, float p3_x, float p3_y, float *i_x, float *i_y)
{
    float s1_x, s1_y, s2_x, s2_y;
    s1_x = p1_x - p0_x;     s1_y = p1_y - p0_y;
    s2_x = p3_x - p2_x;     s2_y = p3_y - p2_y;

    float s, t;
    s = (-s1_y * (p0_x - p2_x) + s1_x * (p0_y - p2_y)) / (-s2_x * s1_y + s1_x * s2_y);
    t = ( s2_x * (p0_y - p2_y) - s2_y * (p0_x - p2_x)) / (-s2_x * s1_y + s1_x * s2_y);

    if (s >= 0 && s <= 1 && t >= 0 && t <= 1)
    {
        // Collision detected
        if (i_x != NULL)
            *i_x = p0_x + (t * s1_x);
        if (i_y != NULL)
            *i_y = p0_y + (t * s1_y);
        return 1;
    }

    return 0; // No collision
}

顺便说一句，我必须说，在LeMothe的书中，虽然他显然得到了正确的算法，但他展示的具体示例插入了错误的数字，并且计算错误。例如:

(4 * (4-1) + 12 * (7-1))/(17 * 4 + 12 * 10) = 844/0.88 = 0.44

这让我困惑了好几个小时。：(

下面是一个基本的c#线段实现，并有相应的交点检测代码。它需要一个名为Vector2f的2D向量/点结构，不过你可以用任何其他具有X/Y属性的类型替换它。如果更适合你的需要，你也可以用double替换float。

这段代码用于我的. net物理库Boing。

    public Vector2f To { get; }

    public LineSegment2f(Vector2f @from, Vector2f to)

        To = to;
    }

        // t = (q − p) × s / (r × s)
        // u = (q − p) × r / (r × s)

        var denom = Fake2DCross(r, s);

        if (denom == 0)
        {
            // lines are collinear or parallel

        if (t < 0 || t > 1 || u < 0 || u > 1)
        {
            // line segments do not intersect within their ranges
            intersectionPoint = default(Vector2f);
            return false;
        }

        intersectionPoint = p + r * t;
        return true;
    }

人们似乎对Gavin的答案很感兴趣，cortijon在评论中提出了一个javascript版本，iMalc提供了一个计算量略少的版本。一些人指出了各种代码建议的缺点，另一些人则评论了一些代码建议的效率。

iMalc通过Gavin的答案提供的算法是我目前在一个javascript项目中使用的算法，我只是想在这里提供一个清理过的版本，如果它可以帮助到任何人的话。

// Some variables for reuse, others may do this differently
var p0x, p1x, p2x, p3x, ix,
    p0y, p1y, p2y, p3y, iy,
    collisionDetected;

// do stuff, call other functions, set endpoints...

// note: for my purpose I use |t| < |d| as opposed to
// |t| <= |d| which is equivalent to 0 <= t < 1 rather than
// 0 <= t <= 1 as in Gavin's answer - results may vary

var lineSegmentIntersection = function(){
    var d, dx1, dx2, dx3, dy1, dy2, dy3, s, t;

    dx1 = p1x - p0x;      dy1 = p1y - p0y;
    dx2 = p3x - p2x;      dy2 = p3y - p2y;
