# tickit\_rect\_intersects(3)

test if two rectangles intersect

## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <tickit.h>

bool tickit_rect_intersects(const TickitRect *a, const TickitRect *b);
```

Link with *-ltickit*.

## DESCRIPTION

**tickit\_rect\_intersects**() tests whether the two given rectangles intersect at all. It returns true if there is a non-empty rectangular region in common covered by both rectangles. [**tickit\_rect\_intersect**(3)](/tickit_rect_intersect/3.md) can be used to obtain this intersection as well as performing the intersection test itself.

## RETURN VALUE

**tickit\_rect\_contains**() returns a boolean value.
