Common algorithms

sdl2.ext.cohensutherland(left : int, top : int, right : int, bottom : int, x1 : int, y1 : int, x2 : int, y2 : int) → int, int, int, int

This implements the Cohen-Sutherland line clipping algorithm. left, top, right and bottom denote the clipping area, into which the line defined by x1, y1 (start point) and x2, y2 (end point) will be clipped.

If the line does not intersect with the rectangular clipping area, four None values will be returned as tuple. Otherwise a tuple of the clipped line points will be returned in the form (cx1, cy1, cx2, cy2).

sdl2.ext.liangbarsky(left : int, top : int, right : int, bottom : int, x1 : int, y1 : int, x2 : int, y2 : int) → int, int, int, int

This implements the Liang-Barsky line clipping algorithm. left, top, right and bottom denote the clipping area, into which the line defined by x1, y1 (start point) and x2, y2 (end point) will be clipped.

If the line does not intersect with the rectangular clipping area, four None values will be returned as tuple. Otherwise a tuple of the clipped line points will be returned in the form (cx1, cy1, cx2, cy2).

sdl2.ext.clipline(left : int, top : int, right : int, bottom : int, x1 : int, y1 : int, x2 : int, y2 : int[, method=liangbarsky]) → int, int, int, int

Clips a line to a rectangular area.

sdl2.ext.point_on_line(p1 : iterable, p2 : iterable, point : iterable) → bool

Checks, if point, a two-value tuple, is on the line segment defined by p1 and p2.
