Intersection in Polyline tool

[Elia Chkayra]

hello again,

I am using the polyline tools to draw shapes, i have also created a right click event wich allows me to connect the first and the last polyline point.
My problem is that : i want to give an error message if the user draws intersected lines.
If any line on the shape intersects with another line on the same shape and also if the line that connects the first point with the last point, intersects with any other line in the shape that the user drawed( when the right click event occurs), i want to raise an error message and delete the created node.
i will attach a zip file wich will show exactly what i want

Hi Elia,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We are currently working on this issue. We will update you with in a couple of days.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Elia,

You can restrict the polyline node from being drawn if any line on the shape intersects with another line on the same shape by customizing the Polyline Tool class and

overriding the ProcessMouseUp() method with the desired code implementation.

The node will get created within the ProcessMouseUp() method and so you need to check whether any of line segments of the polyline node intersects with each other

before adding the node. You can get the each line segment of the polyline by using the PolyLineBase.Points collection.

Below is the sample code snippets that shows the above details.

public override Tool ProcessMouseUp(MouseEventArgs evtArgs)
        {
            Tool toolToReturn = this;
            this.CurrentPoint = new Point(evtArgs.X, evtArgs.Y);
            this.CanRender = false;
            if (this.InAction)
            {
                // if MouseButtons.Left --> add current point to shape Points
                if (evtArgs.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
                {
                    base.ProcessMouseUp(evtArgs);
                }
                // if MouseButtons.Right --> create polyline derived node
                else if (evtArgs.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
                {
                    // Check whether intersection
                    if (!IsIntersects(this.Points))
                    {
                        base.ProcessMouseUp(evtArgs);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        this.Controller.UpdateInfo.UpdateRefreshRect(this.WorkRect);
                    }
                }
            }
            return toolToReturn;
        }

// Check for intersection.
private bool IsIntersects(PointF[] points)
        {
            bool success = false;
            if (points.Length > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < points.Length - 1; i++)
                {
                    Line line1 = new Line(points[i], points[i + 1]);                    
                    for (int j = 1; j < points.Length - 1; j++)
                    {
                        Line line2 = new Line(points[j], points[j + 1]);
                       // Add code here to find whether two lines are intersected.
	        // If intersects set success = true , false otherwise.	        
                    }
                }

            }
	return success;
      }

Meera.
