Hi List, this one goes out to the math experts. How does one compute the area ( I hope it is the correct Term for flaecheninhalt in german) of a polygon with n sides. (That would get me started.) I want to extract all lines of 2 polygons by analysing their points, evaluate the area of each of

The more I think about this, try optimizing a simple pixel overlap in the overlapped region of the two images. That may be enough. So first check with intersect function, if intersec=true then check with pixel method for the overlapping parts of the two objects? That seems to be a good

Collision detection: a comparison.

Hi Dar, thanks for the leg up. Indeed, I checked the whole data after every move, silly me. If pixel by pixel checking is too slow, you might roughly model each object with a small list of rectangles in a custom property. An overlap occurs if any rectangle from one's list overlaps one from the

Collision detection: a comparison.
