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。

有一个很好的方法来解决这个问题就是用向量叉乘。定义二维向量叉乘v × w为vx wy−vy wx。

假设这两条线段从p到p + r，从q到q + s。那么第一行上的任意点都可以表示为p + t r(对于标量参数t)，第二行上的任意点可以表示为q + u s(对于标量参数u)。

如果t和u满足以下条件，两条直线相交:

P + t r = q + u s

两边叉乘s，得到

(p + r) × s = (q + u s) × s

由于s × s = 0，这意味着

T (r × s) = (q−p) × s

因此，求解t:

T = (q−p) × s / (r × s)

同样地，我们可以解出u:

(p + r) × r = (q + u s) × r U (s × r) = (p−q) × r U = (p−q) × r / (s × r)

为了减少计算步骤，可以方便地将其重写为以下形式(记住s × r =−r × s):

U = q−p × r / (r × s)

现在有四种情况:

If r × s = 0 and (q − p) × r = 0, then the two lines are collinear. In this case, express the endpoints of the second segment (q and q + s) in terms of the equation of the first line segment (p + t r): t0 = (q − p) · r / (r · r) t1 = (q + s − p) · r / (r · r) = t0 + s · r / (r · r) If the interval between t0 and t1 intersects the interval [0, 1] then the line segments are collinear and overlapping; otherwise they are collinear and disjoint. Note that if s and r point in opposite directions, then s · r < 0 and so the interval to be checked is [t1, t0] rather than [t0, t1]. If r × s = 0 and (q − p) × r ≠ 0, then the two lines are parallel and non-intersecting. If r × s ≠ 0 and 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, the two line segments meet at the point p + t r = q + u s. Otherwise, the two line segments are not parallel but do not intersect.

来源:该方法是3D线相交算法的2维专门化，来自Ronald Goldman发表在Graphics Gems，第304页的文章“三条线在三维空间中的相交”。在三维空间中，通常的情况是直线是倾斜的(既不平行也不相交)，在这种情况下，该方法给出了两条直线最接近的点。

许多函数和结构都是私有的，但是你应该很容易就能知道发生了什么。 这是公开的在这个回购https://github.com/hfossli/AGGeometryKit/

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。
