Detect overlapping objects or rectangles
How to detect overlapping rectangle objects
Assume that we have two rectangles naming rect1 and rect2
Both has properties like x, y, width and height, so here
We can create additional properties like x2 and y2 to simplify the task like this:
rect1.x1 = rect1.x;
rect1.y1 = rect1.y;
rect1.x2 = (rect1.x+rect1.width);
rect1.y2 = (rect1.y+rect1.height);
if(rect1.y2 >= rect2.y1 && rect1.y1 <= rect2.y2 && rect1.x2 >= rect2.x1 && rect1.x1 <= rect2.x2) {
alert(“rect1 and rect2 are overlapping”);
}
Hope this helps
