I'm drawing a rectangle onto a canvas and a line from the center of the rectangle to some random point in the coordinate space.
Now, I want to truncate the line by the length that is inside the rectangle so that the line starts at the rectangle edge.
How could I do this?
Example
- The rectangle could be defined by 2 points:
Pstart(1, 3),Pend(3, 1) - The center point can be computed to :
P(2, 2) - Now draw the line from
P(2, 2)toQ(10, 2).
As I know the width of the rectangle is 2, I could tell the line to start at P(4, 2) instead of P(2, 2).
This gets more complicated when the point is not parallel to one of the XY axis. Moreover the length inside the rectangle will be different amount for diagonal lines.
How can I calculate the start offset for the line point with respect to the center of the rectangle and the end point of the line?
Probably I'd have to find the point where the line would cross the rectangle, and then just let the line start at the cross point. But how could I get this point?
Honestly, I don't understand the maths, but...
Essentially, you have 5 lines. The original line and the 4 lines of the rectangle. So if you break it down to a simple line intersection of line problem it should become a little easier...

Look at Liang-Barsky algorithm used for line clipping by rectangle.
Vertices of the rectangle: a, b, c, d. Represent the x and y coord of each one like ax, ay, etc.
endpoints of the line: x, y
The line follows y = mx + b, and goes either up or down, right or left. That narrows down your possible rectangle edges for crossing to 2.
Use y = mx + b to determine the vertical coordinate at which it crosses the horizontal line, and the horizontal component at which it crosses the vertical line. Either only one of these will actually be on your rectangle (i.e., contained within one of the rectangle edges), or it will intersect at a corner.
