A rotated rectangle 2007-04-16
From Graham:
There is a circle inside which from the centre to the top is a rectangle. Size is unimportant. If I the rectangle is at 0 degrees and I know the co-ordinates of the 4 corners I can do a check to see whether a given point x,y is inside the rectangle or not.

Question : If the rectangle is rotated by 50 degrees how do I check then as the lines of the rectangle are not perfectly straight with regards to x and y ie at 0 degrees x changes but y is constant and vice versa. At 50 degrees x and y change together.
