I got the (x,y) center location of two circles and their radius but I need to
Translated the C function on the site to JavaScript:
function intersection(x0, y0, r0, x1, y1, r1) {
var a, dx, dy, d, h, rx, ry;
var x2, y2;
/* dx and dy are the vertical and horizontal distances between
* the circle centers.
*/
dx = x1 - x0;
dy = y1 - y0;
/* Determine the straight-line distance between the centers. */
d = Math.sqrt((dy*dy) + (dx*dx));
/* Check for solvability. */
if (d > (r0 + r1)) {
/* no solution. circles do not intersect. */
return false;
}
if (d < Math.abs(r0 - r1)) {
/* no solution. one circle is contained in the other */
return false;
}
/* 'point 2' is the point where the line through the circle
* intersection points crosses the line between the circle
* centers.
*/
/* Determine the distance from point 0 to point 2. */
a = ((r0*r0) - (r1*r1) + (d*d)) / (2.0 * d) ;
/* Determine the coordinates of point 2. */
x2 = x0 + (dx * a/d);
y2 = y0 + (dy * a/d);
/* Determine the distance from point 2 to either of the
* intersection points.
*/
h = Math.sqrt((r0*r0) - (a*a));
/* Now determine the offsets of the intersection points from
* point 2.
*/
rx = -dy * (h/d);
ry = dx * (h/d);
/* Determine the absolute intersection points. */
var xi = x2 + rx;
var xi_prime = x2 - rx;
var yi = y2 + ry;
var yi_prime = y2 - ry;
return [xi, xi_prime, yi, yi_prime];
