以下是对加文回答的改进。马普的解决方案也类似，但都没有推迟分割。

这实际上也是Gareth Rees的答案的一个实际应用，因为向量积在2D中的等价是补点积，这段代码用了其中的三个。切换到3D并使用叉积，在最后插入s和t，结果是3D中直线之间的两个最近点。 不管怎样，2D解:

int get_line_intersection(float p0_x, float p0_y, float p1_x, float p1_y, 
    float p2_x, float p2_y, float p3_x, float p3_y, float *i_x, float *i_y)
{
    float s02_x, s02_y, s10_x, s10_y, s32_x, s32_y, s_numer, t_numer, denom, t;
    s10_x = p1_x - p0_x;
    s10_y = p1_y - p0_y;
    s32_x = p3_x - p2_x;
    s32_y = p3_y - p2_y;

    denom = s10_x * s32_y - s32_x * s10_y;
    if (denom == 0)
        return 0; // Collinear
    bool denomPositive = denom > 0;

    s02_x = p0_x - p2_x;
    s02_y = p0_y - p2_y;
    s_numer = s10_x * s02_y - s10_y * s02_x;
    if ((s_numer < 0) == denomPositive)
        return 0; // No collision

    t_numer = s32_x * s02_y - s32_y * s02_x;
    if ((t_numer < 0) == denomPositive)
        return 0; // No collision

    if (((s_numer > denom) == denomPositive) || ((t_numer > denom) == denomPositive))
        return 0; // No collision
    // Collision detected
    t = t_numer / denom;
    if (i_x != NULL)
        *i_x = p0_x + (t * s10_x);
    if (i_y != NULL)
        *i_y = p0_y + (t * s10_y);

    return 1;
}

基本上，它将除法延迟到最后一刻，并将大多数测试移动到某些计算完成之前，从而增加了早期退出。最后，它还避免了直线平行时的除零情况。

您可能还想考虑使用ε检验，而不是与零比较。非常接近平行的线会产生稍微偏离的结果。这不是一个bug，这是浮点数学的一个限制。

上面有很多解决方案，但我认为下面的解决方案很简单，很容易理解。

矢量AB和矢量CD相交当且仅当

端点a和b在线段CD的两边。 端点c和d在线段AB的对边。

更具体地说，a和b在线段CD的对面当且仅当两个三元组中有一个是逆时针顺序的。

Intersect(a, b, c, d)
 if CCW(a, c, d) == CCW(b, c, d)
    return false;
 else if CCW(a, b, c) == CCW(a, b, d)
    return false;
 else
    return true;

这里的CCW代表逆时针，根据点的方向返回真/假。

如果矩形的每条边都是一条线段，并且用户绘制的部分也是一条线段，那么您只需检查用户绘制的线段是否与四条边线段相交。这应该是一个相当简单的练习，给定每个段的起点和终点。

这个解决方案可能会有所帮助

public static float GetLineYIntesept(PointF p, float slope)
    {
        return p.Y - slope * p.X;
    }

    public static PointF FindIntersection(PointF line1Start, PointF line1End, PointF line2Start, PointF line2End)
    {

        float slope1 = (line1End.Y - line1Start.Y) / (line1End.X - line1Start.X);
        float slope2 = (line2End.Y - line2Start.Y) / (line2End.X - line2Start.X);

        float yinter1 = GetLineYIntesept(line1Start, slope1);
        float yinter2 = GetLineYIntesept(line2Start, slope2);

        if (slope1 == slope2 && yinter1 != yinter2)
            return PointF.Empty;

        float x = (yinter2 - yinter1) / (slope1 - slope2);

        float y = slope1 * x + yinter1;

        return new PointF(x, y);
    }

找到两条线段的正确交点是一项具有大量边缘情况的非简单任务。下面是一个用Java编写的、有效的、经过测试的解决方案。

本质上，在求两条线段的交点时，有三种情况会发生:

线段不相交 有一个唯一的交点 交点是另一段

注意:在代码中，我假设x1 = x2和y1 = y2的线段(x1, y1)， (x2, y2)是有效的线段。从数学上讲，线段由不同的点组成，但为了完整起见，我在这个实现中允许线段作为点。

下面是一个简单的用法示例:

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Segment #1 is (p1, p2), segment #2 is (p3, p4)
    Pt p1, p2, p3, p4;

    p1 = new Pt(-2, 4); p2 = new Pt(3, 3);
    p3 = new Pt(0, 0);  p4 = new Pt(2, 4);
    Pt[] points = lineSegmentLineSegmentIntersection(p1, p2, p3, p4);
    Pt point = points[0];

    // Prints: (1.636, 3.273)
    System.out.printf("(%.3f, %.3f)\n", point.x, point.y);

    p1 = new Pt(-10, 0); p2 = new Pt(+10, 0);
    p3 = new Pt(-5, 0);  p4 = new Pt(+5, 0);
    points = lineSegmentLineSegmentIntersection(p1, p2, p3, p4);
    Pt point1 = points[0], point2 = points[1];

    // Prints: (-5.000, 0.000) (5.000, 0.000)
    System.out.printf("(%.3f, %.3f) (%.3f, %.3f)\n", point1.x, point1.y, point2.x, point2.y);
  }

FWIW，下面的函数(在C中)既检测线的交点，又确定交点。这是基于Andre LeMothe的“Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus”中的一个算法。这与其他答案(例如Gareth的答案)中的一些算法并没有什么不同。然后LeMothe使用克莱默法则(不要问我)来解这些方程。

我可以证明它在我的小行星克隆中起作用，并且似乎正确地处理了Elemental, Dan和Wodzu在其他答案中描述的边缘情况。它也可能比KingNestor发布的代码快，因为它都是乘法和除法，没有平方根!

我想这里有一些除以0的可能性，尽管在我的例子中这不是问题。很容易修改以避免崩溃。

// Returns 1 if the lines intersect, otherwise 0. In addition, if the lines 
// intersect the intersection point may be stored in the floats i_x and i_y.
char get_line_intersection(float p0_x, float p0_y, float p1_x, float p1_y, 
    float p2_x, float p2_y, float p3_x, float p3_y, float *i_x, float *i_y)
{
    float s1_x, s1_y, s2_x, s2_y;
    s1_x = p1_x - p0_x;     s1_y = p1_y - p0_y;
    s2_x = p3_x - p2_x;     s2_y = p3_y - p2_y;

    float s, t;
    s = (-s1_y * (p0_x - p2_x) + s1_x * (p0_y - p2_y)) / (-s2_x * s1_y + s1_x * s2_y);
    t = ( s2_x * (p0_y - p2_y) - s2_y * (p0_x - p2_x)) / (-s2_x * s1_y + s1_x * s2_y);

    if (s >= 0 && s <= 1 && t >= 0 && t <= 1)
    {
        // Collision detected
        if (i_x != NULL)
            *i_x = p0_x + (t * s1_x);
        if (i_y != NULL)
            *i_y = p0_y + (t * s1_y);
        return 1;
    }

    return 0; // No collision
}

顺便说一句，我必须说，在LeMothe的书中，虽然他显然得到了正确的算法，但他展示的具体示例插入了错误的数字，并且计算错误。例如:

(4 * (4-1) + 12 * (7-1))/(17 * 4 + 12 * 10) = 844/0.88 = 0.44

这让我困惑了好几个小时。：(
