How to get overlapping rectangle coordinates

Question

Assume I have the following overlapping rectangles (\"a\" and \"b\"):

aaaaaaaa
aaaaccccbbbbb
aaaaccccbbbbb
aaaaccccbbbbb
    bbbbbbbbb
    bbbbbbbbb

Answer 1

static internal Rectangle intersect(Rectangle lhs, Rectangle rhs)
{
    Dimension lhsLeft = lhs.Location.X;
    Dimension rhsLeft = rhs.Location.X;
    Dimension lhsTop = lhs.Location.Y;
    Dimension rhsTop = rhs.Location.Y;
    Dimension lhsRight = lhs.Right;
    Dimension rhsRight = rhs.Right;
    Dimension lhsBottom = lhs.Bottom;
    Dimension rhsBottom = rhs.Bottom;

    Dimension left = Dimension.max(lhsLeft, rhsLeft);
    Dimension top = Dimension.max(lhsTop, rhsTop);
    Dimension right = Dimension.min(lhsRight, rhsRight);
    Dimension bottom = Dimension.min(lhsBottom, rhsBottom);
    Point location = new Point(left, top);
    Dimension width = (right > left) ? (right - left) : new Dimension(0);
    Dimension height = (bottom > top) ? (bottom - top) : new Dimension(0);

    return new Rectangle(location, new Size(width, height));
}
