Cross points of circles
Table of contents
# Explanation
Find cross points of 2 circles.
Example input:
# Code
pair<Vector2, Vector2> crossPoints() {
Vector2 baseVec = C2 - C1;
double baseLen = baseVec.length();
double cos_ = (baseLen*baseLen + R1*R1 - R2*R2) / (2 * baseLen * R1);
double sin_ = sqrt(1 - cos_*cos_);
// Counter-clockwise
Vector2 a_(cos_ * baseVec.x + -sin_ * baseVec.y, sin_ * baseVec.x + cos_ * baseVec.y);
// Clockwise
Vector2 b_(cos_ * baseVec.x + sin_ * baseVec.y, -sin_ * baseVec.x + cos_ * baseVec.y);
Vector2 a = C1 + a_ * R1 / baseLen;
Vector2 b = C1 + b_ * R1 / baseLen;
if (fabs(a.x) < EPS) a.x = 0.0;
if (fabs(a.y) < EPS) a.y = 0.0;
if (fabs(b.x) < EPS) b.x = 0.0;
if (fabs(b.y) < EPS) b.y = 0.0;
if (a < b) return make_pair(a, b);
return make_pair(b, a);
}
# Wrong algorithm
This is still WIP. It doen't work for input like below.

Vector2 mid(Vector2 c1, double r1, Vector2 c2, double r2) {
return c1 + (c2 - c1) * (r1 / (r1 + r2));
}
Vector2 perpen(Vector2 a, Vector2 b) {
Vector2 c = b - a;
double d = c.x;
c.x = c.y;
c.y = -d;
return c;
}
Vector2 unitVec(Vector2 v) {
return v / v.length();
}
pair<Vector2, Vector2> crossPoints() {
Vector2 p = mid(C1, R1, C2, R2);
cout << p << endl;
Vector2 e = unitVec(perpen(C1, p));
double len = sqrt(R1*R1 - (p - C1).norm());
Vector2 x1 = p + e * len;
Vector2 x2 = p + e * (-len);
if (fabs(x1.x) < EPS) x1.x = 0.0;
if (fabs(x1.y) < EPS) x1.y = 0.0;
if (fabs(x2.x) < EPS) x2.x = 0.0;
if (fabs(x2.y) < EPS) x2.y = 0.0;
if (x1 < x2) return make_pair(x1, x2);
return make_pair(x2, x1);
