只是这个线程的一个补充… 下面是pahlevan发布的代码版本，但针对c# /XNA，并做了一些整理:

    public static bool IntersectLineCircle(Vector2 location, float radius, Vector2 lineFrom, Vector2 lineTo)
    {
        float ab2, acab, h2;
        Vector2 ac = location - lineFrom;
        Vector2 ab = lineTo - lineFrom;
        Vector2.Dot(ref ab, ref ab, out ab2);
        Vector2.Dot(ref ac, ref ab, out acab);
        float t = acab / ab2;

        if (t < 0)
            t = 0;
        else if (t > 1)
            t = 1;

        Vector2 h = ((ab * t) + lineFrom) - location;
        Vector2.Dot(ref h, ref h, out h2);

        return (h2 <= (radius * radius));
    }

奇怪的是，我可以回答，但不能评论…… 我喜欢Multitaskpro的方法，它可以移动所有东西，使圆的中心落在原点上。不幸的是，他的代码中有两个问题。首先在平方根下的部分，你需要去掉双倍的幂。所以不是:

is underRadical = Math.pow（（Math.pow（r，2）*（Math.pow（m，2）+1）），2）-Math.pow（b，2））;

but:

under Radical = Math.pow（r，2）*（Math.pow（m，2）+1）） - Math.pow（b，2）;

在最后的坐标中，他忘记把解移回来。所以不是:

var i1 = {x：t1，y：m*t1+b}

but:

Var i1 = {x:t1+c。x, y: m * t1 + b +陈守惠};

整个函数就变成:

function interceptOnCircle(p1, p2, c, r) {
    //p1 is the first line point
    //p2 is the second line point
    //c is the circle's center
    //r is the circle's radius

    var p3 = {x:p1.x - c.x, y:p1.y - c.y}; //shifted line points
    var p4 = {x:p2.x - c.x, y:p2.y - c.y};

    var m = (p4.y - p3.y) / (p4.x - p3.x); //slope of the line
    var b = p3.y - m * p3.x; //y-intercept of line

    var underRadical = Math.pow(r,2)*Math.pow(m,2) + Math.pow(r,2) - Math.pow(b,2); //the value under the square root sign 

    if (underRadical < 0) {
        //line completely missed
        return false;
    } else {
        var t1 = (-m*b + Math.sqrt(underRadical))/(Math.pow(m,2) + 1); //one of the intercept x's
        var t2 = (-m*b - Math.sqrt(underRadical))/(Math.pow(m,2) + 1); //other intercept's x
        var i1 = {x:t1+c.x, y:m*t1+b+c.y}; //intercept point 1
        var i2 = {x:t2+c.x, y:m*t2+b+c.y}; //intercept point 2
        return [i1, i2];
    }
}

似乎没人考虑投影，我是不是完全跑题了?

将向量AC投影到AB上，投影的向量AD就得到了新的点D。 如果D和C之间的距离小于(或等于)R，我们有一个交点。

是这样的:

社区编辑:

对于稍后无意中看到这篇文章并想知道如何实现这样一个算法的人来说，这里是一个使用常见向量操作函数用JavaScript编写的通用实现。

/**
 * Returns the distance from line segment AB to point C
 */
function distanceSegmentToPoint(A, B, C) {
    // Compute vectors AC and AB
    const AC = sub(C, A);
    const AB = sub(B, A);

    // Get point D by taking the projection of AC onto AB then adding the offset of A
    const D = add(proj(AC, AB), A);

    const AD = sub(D, A);
    // D might not be on AB so calculate k of D down AB (aka solve AD = k * AB)
    // We can use either component, but choose larger value to reduce the chance of dividing by zero
    const k = Math.abs(AB.x) > Math.abs(AB.y) ? AD.x / AB.x : AD.y / AB.y;

    // Check if D is off either end of the line segment
    if (k <= 0.0) {
        return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, A));
    } else if (k >= 1.0) {
        return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, B));
    }

    return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, D));
}

对于这个实现，我使用了两个常见的矢量操作函数，无论您在什么环境中工作，都可能已经提供了这些函数。但是，如果您还没有这些可用的功能，下面介绍如何实现它们。

// Define some common functions for working with vectors
const add = (a, b) => ({x: a.x + b.x, y: a.y + b.y});
const sub = (a, b) => ({x: a.x - b.x, y: a.y - b.y});
const dot = (a, b) => a.x * b.x + a.y * b.y;
const hypot2 = (a, b) => dot(sub(a, b), sub(a, b));

// Function for projecting some vector a onto b
function proj(a, b) {
    const k = dot(a, b) / dot(b, b);
    return {x: k * b.x, y: k * b.y};
}

另一种方法使用三角形ABC面积公式。交点检验比投影法简单高效，但求交点坐标需要更多的工作。至少它会被推迟到需要的时候。

三角形面积的计算公式为:area = bh/2

b是底长，h是高。我们选择线段AB作为底，使h是圆心C到直线的最短距离。

因为三角形的面积也可以用向量点积来计算，所以我们可以确定h。

// compute the triangle area times 2 (area = area2/2)
area2 = abs( (Bx-Ax)*(Cy-Ay) - (Cx-Ax)(By-Ay) )

// compute the AB segment length
LAB = sqrt( (Bx-Ax)² + (By-Ay)² )

// compute the triangle height
h = area2/LAB

// if the line intersects the circle
if( h < R )
{
    ...
}        

更新1:

您可以通过使用这里描述的快速平方根倒数计算来优化代码，以获得1/LAB的良好近似值。

计算交点并不难。开始了

// compute the line AB direction vector components
Dx = (Bx-Ax)/LAB
Dy = (By-Ay)/LAB

// compute the distance from A toward B of closest point to C
t = Dx*(Cx-Ax) + Dy*(Cy-Ay)

// t should be equal to sqrt( (Cx-Ax)² + (Cy-Ay)² - h² )

// compute the intersection point distance from t
dt = sqrt( R² - h² )

// compute first intersection point coordinate
Ex = Ax + (t-dt)*Dx
Ey = Ay + (t-dt)*Dy

// compute second intersection point coordinate
Fx = Ax + (t+dt)*Dx
Fy = Ay + (t+dt)*Dy

如果h = R，则直线AB与圆相切，且值dt = 0, E = F。点的坐标为E和F的坐标。

如果在应用程序中出现这种情况，您应该检查A与B是否不同，并且段长度不为空。

' VB.NET - Code

    Static xd As Double = 0.0F

    dx_2_1 = x2 - x1
    dy_2_1 = y2 - y1

    t = ((yc - y1) * dy_2_1 + (xc - x1) * dx_2_1) / (dy_2_1 * dy_2_1 + dx_2_1 * dx_2_1)

    If 0 <= t And t <= 1 Then
        xd = x1 + t * dx_2_1
        yd = y1 + t * dy_2_1

        d = Math.Sqrt((xd - xc) * (xd - xc) + (yd - yc) * (yd - yc))
        Return d <= r
    Else
        d = Math.Sqrt((xc - x1) * (xc - x1) + (yc - y1) * (yc - y1))

            Return True
        Else
            d = Math.Sqrt((xc - x2) * (xc - x2) + (yc - y2) * (yc - y2))

                Return True
            Else
                Return False
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Function

这是一个Javascript实现。我的方法是首先将线段转换成一条无限的直线，然后找到交点。从那里，我检查是否找到的点在线段上。代码有良好的文档记录，您应该能够跟随。
