Line clipping

A rust crate to implement several line clipping algorithms. See the documentation for more information. The choice of algorithms is based on the following article which contains a good summary of the options:

Matthes D, Drakopoulos V. Line Clipping in 2D: Overview, Techniques and Algorithms. J Imaging. 2022 Oct 17;8(10):286. doi: 10.3390/jimaging8100286. PMID: 36286380; PMCID: PMC9605407.

Supports:

• Cohen-Sutherland

TODO

• Cyrus-Beck
• Liang-Barsky
• Nicholl-Lee-Nicholl
• More comprehensive testing

Installation

cargo add line-clipping

Usage

use line_clipping::cohen_sutherland::clip_line;
use line_clipping::{LineSegment, Point, Window};

let line = LineSegment::new(Point::new(-10.0, -10.0), Point::new(20.0, 20.0));
let window = Window::new(0.0, 10.0, 0.0, 10.0);
let clipped_line = clip_line(line, window);
