Sorry, just to make things a bit simpler and a lot less scary-
looking, here's the same values rounded.
Object 1: bounds: {523.0, 520.0, 749.0, 465.0}, width: 226.0,
height: 55.0.
Object 2: bounds: {500.0, 570.0, 737.0, 515.0}, width: 237.0,
height: 55.0.

Hi All,
I'm trying to work out whether two text frames (or any two
objects) intersect each other in Illustrator but I'm struggling
with the maths.
I'm sure there's a basic formula that games developers and/or
mathmagicians use to achieve this but I'm terrible at maths. I
think in pictures!
Anyway, if I have two objects that do indeed intersect and the
values are:
Object 1: bounds: {523.7314453125, 520.07958984375, 750.03515625,
464.88330078125}, width: 226.3037109375, height: 55.1962890625.
Object 2: bounds: {501.5654296875, 569.4541015625, 738.6728515625,
514.2578125}, width: 237.107421875, height: 55.1962890625.
How would I write the AppleScript function to return true if they
do intersect and false if they don't?
I know the subject is slightly OT but the solution will be used in
an AppleScript program! Many thanks to anyone who can help.
Simon
I hope that I forgot nothing.
set {X11, Y11, X12, Y12} to {523.7314453125, 520.07958984375,
750.03515625, 464.88330078125}
set {X21, Y21, X22, Y22} to {501.5654296875, 569.4541015625,
738.6728515625, 514.2578125}
set intersect to (((X21 > X11) and (X21 < X12)) or ((X22 > X11) and
(X22 < X12))) and (((Y21 > Y11) and (Y21 < Y12)) or ((Y22 > Y11) and
(Y22 < Y12)))
