Let's say I'm specifying a circular arc with the following information:
x1,y1,x2,y2,radius,direction
and that I have 2D boundaries of: minX = -5, minY = -5, maxX = 5, maxY = 5
how can i tell if the arc will go outside the boundaries?
so, for example, an arc with these values would go outside the bounds:
-4.5,0,-4.5,4,2,clockwise
in fact, it's almost entirely outside the bounds. but if I change the radius to 6, it won't. (or if I change the direction to ccw of course)
thanks for any help!!
