Rect2

A 2D axis-aligned bounding box using floating-point coordinates.

Description

The Rect2 built-in Variant type represents an axis-aligned rectangle in a 2D space. It is defined by its position and size, which are Vector2. It is frequently used for fast overlap tests (see intersects). Although Rect2 itself is axis-aligned, it can be combined with Transform2D to represent a rotated or skewed rectangle.

For integer coordinates, use Rect2i. The 3D equivalent to Rect2 is AABB.

Note: Negative values for size are not supported. With negative size, most Rect2 methods do not work correctly. Use abs to get an equivalent Rect2 with a non-negative size.

Note: In a boolean context, a Rect2 evaluates to false if both position and size are zero (equal to Vector2.ZERO). Otherwise, it always evaluates to true.

Note

There are notable differences when using this API with C#. See C# API differences to GDScript for more information.

Property Descriptions

Vector2 end = Vector2(0, 0)

The ending point. This is usually the bottom-right corner of the rectangle, and is equivalent to position + size. Setting this point affects the size.


Vector2 position = Vector2(0, 0)

The origin point. This is usually the top-left corner of the rectangle.


Vector2 size = Vector2(0, 0)

The rectangle's width and height, starting from position. Setting this value also affects the end point.

Note: It's recommended setting the width and height to non-negative values, as most methods in Godot assume that the position is the top-left corner, and the end is the bottom-right corner. To get an equivalent rectangle with non-negative size, use abs.


Constructor Descriptions

Rect2 Rect2 ( )

Constructs a Rect2 with its position and size set to Vector2.ZERO.


Rect2 Rect2 ( Rect2 from )

Constructs a Rect2 as a copy of the given Rect2.


Rect2 Rect2 ( Rect2i from )

Constructs a Rect2 from a Rect2i.


Rect2 Rect2 ( Vector2 position, Vector2 size )

Constructs a Rect2 by position and size.


Rect2 Rect2 ( float x, float y, float width, float height )

Constructs a Rect2 by setting its position to (x, y), and its size to (width, height).


Method Descriptions

Rect2 abs ( ) const

Returns a Rect2 equivalent to this rectangle, with its width and height modified to be non-negative values, and with its position being the top-left corner of the rectangle.

var rect = Rect2(25, 25, -100, -50)
var absolute = rect.abs() # absolute is Rect2(-75, -25, 100, 50)

Note: It's recommended to use this method when size is negative, as most other methods in Godot assume that the position is the top-left corner, and the end is the bottom-right corner.


bool encloses ( Rect2 b ) const

Returns true if this rectangle completely encloses the b rectangle.


Rect2 expand ( Vector2 to ) const

Returns a copy of this rectangle expanded to align the edges with the given to point, if necessary.

var rect = Rect2(0, 0, 5, 2)

rect = rect.expand(Vector2(10, 0)) # rect is Rect2(0, 0, 10, 2)
rect = rect.expand(Vector2(-5, 5)) # rect is Rect2(-5, 0, 10, 5)

float get_area ( ) const

Returns the rectangle's area. This is equivalent to size.x * size.y. See also has_area.


Vector2 get_center ( ) const

Returns the center point of the rectangle. This is the same as position + (size / 2.0).


Rect2 grow ( float amount ) const

Returns a copy of this rectangle extended on all sides by the given amount. A negative amount shrinks the rectangle instead. See also grow_individual and grow_side.

var a = Rect2(4, 4, 8, 8).grow(4) # a is Rect2(0, 0, 16, 16)
var b = Rect2(0, 0, 8, 4).grow(2) # b is Rect2(-2, -2, 12, 8)

Rect2 grow_individual ( float left, float top, float right, float bottom ) const

Returns a copy of this rectangle with its left, top, right, and bottom sides extended by the given amounts. Negative values shrink the sides, instead. See also grow and grow_side.


Rect2 grow_side ( int side, float amount ) const

Returns a copy of this rectangle with its side extended by the given amount (see Side constants). A negative amount shrinks the rectangle, instead. See also grow and grow_individual.


bool has_area ( ) const

Returns true if this rectangle has positive width and height. See also get_area.


bool has_point ( Vector2 point ) const

Returns true if the rectangle contains the given point. By convention, points on the right and bottom edges are not included.

Note: This method is not reliable for Rect2 with a negative size. Use abs first to get a valid rectangle.


Rect2 intersection ( Rect2 b ) const

Returns the intersection between this rectangle and b. If the rectangles do not intersect, returns an empty Rect2.

var rect1 = Rect2(0, 0, 5, 10)
var rect2 = Rect2(2, 0, 8, 4)

var a = rect1.intersection(rect2) # a is Rect2(2, 0, 3, 4)

Note: If you only need to know whether two rectangles are overlapping, use intersects, instead.


bool intersects ( Rect2 b, bool include_borders=false ) const

Returns true if this rectangle overlaps with the b rectangle. The edges of both rectangles are excluded, unless include_borders is true.


bool is_equal_approx ( Rect2 rect ) const

Returns true if this rectangle and rect are approximately equal, by calling Vector2.is_equal_approx on the position and the size.


bool is_finite ( ) const

Returns true if this rectangle's values are finite, by calling Vector2.is_finite on the position and the size.


Rect2 merge ( Rect2 b ) const

Returns a Rect2 that encloses both this rectangle and b around the edges. See also encloses.


Operator Descriptions

bool operator != ( Rect2 right )

Returns true if the position or size of both rectangles are not equal.

Note: Due to floating-point precision errors, consider using is_equal_approx instead, which is more reliable.


Rect2 operator * ( Transform2D right )

Inversely transforms (multiplies) the Rect2 by the given Transform2D transformation matrix.


bool operator == ( Rect2 right )

Returns true if both position and size of the rectangles are exactly equal, respectively.

Note: Due to floating-point precision errors, consider using is_equal_approx instead, which is more reliable.
