[cairo] Check collision via cairo_clip_extents

[Yang Hong]

Dear Cairo developers

 

I'm writing a 2D game which need to check collision between
triangle/trapezoid/rectangle/hexagon blocks on the canvas.

 

I tried to use cairo_clip_extents() to find intersect of triangle and
rectangle, but it doesn't work, because the returned bounding is bigger than
the accurate intersect. Please refer to the attached collision checking
model, I want get the bounding of the area C to check if the triangle is
intersected with the rectangle. This model only works between rectangles,
the cairo_region_t also not help on this.

 

I also tried cairo_fill_extents, it returns the whole bounding of the
current path, which is not what I want.

 

While the C area is correctly filled with clip, I want to know is there any
API to get the bound of this area, so I can use it to check if collision
exists. Or is it possible to add API to do so, I have looked into the source
code of cairo, please give me some comment, I'd like to add this API by
myself.

 

The attached cairo-sandbox.c is the code I used to test the checking model.

 

    gcc -o sandbox cairo-sandbox.c -lcairo -g

    ./sandbox
