Rectangle

A 2D rectangle class modeled after the XNA Game Studio math library

For Universal Windows Platform and Xbox One, similar functionality is provided by the Windows::Foundation::Rect Windows Runtime structure

Header

#include <SimpleMath.h>

Initialization

using namespace DirectX::SimpleMath;

Rectangle r;                    // Creates an empty rectangle [0, 0, 0, 0]
Rectangle r(0, 0, 100, 100);    // Creates a rectangle [0, 0, 100, 100]

For Windows desktop apps, you may find that Rectangle conflicts with the GDI function of the same name. You can resolve this three ways: Use #define NOGDI before you include <windows.h>; use SimpleMath::Rectangle, or in local scope use using Rectangle = SimpleMath::Rectangle;.

Fields

• x location of the upper-left corner
• y location of the upper-left corner
• width of the rectangle
• height of the rectangle

Methods

• Comparison operators: == and !=

• Assignment operator: =

• Location, Center: Returns the rectangle position as a Vector2

• IsEmpty: Returns true if the rectangle is [0, 0, 0, 0]

• Contains: Tests to see if a point or rectangle is contained by the rectangle

• Inflate: Grows the rectangle by a specified amount in the horizontal and vertical dimensions

• Intersects: Tests to see if another rectangle intersects with this rectangle

• Offset: Moves or offsets the rectangle by moving the upper-left position

Statics

• Intersect: Computes the intersection of two rectangles or the empty rectangle [0, 0, 0, 0] if there is no intersection

• Union: Computes the union of two rectangles

Remark

Rectangle will freely convert to and from a RECT. In UWP and Xbox One apps, you can also convert it to a Windows::Foundation::Rect.
