Sorry about the confusing way I put it! For the conditions, no, the rectangle will not always be smaller then the circle. The rectangle will always be 'axis-aligned', never rotated.
If a mod could move it to the programming section that would be good.
Hello :)
Sorry rereading my post I realize it was more of me talking to myself then a proper question. What I'm trying to do is figure out the level of intersection between a rectangle and circle: fully intersected, partially intersected or no intersection at all. I've attached a picture...
What I'm looking for is an algorithm to find the details on the intersection of of a circle and rectangle in two dimensional Euclidean space.
The information I need to find is straightforward enough; all I need is to know whether the rectangle and circle are not intersecting, partially...
