### gdk_rectangle_intersect ()

    gboolean
    gdk_rectangle_intersect (const GdkRectangle *src1,

                             GdkRectangle *dest);

Calculates the intersection of two rectangles. It is allowed for `dest` to be the same as either `src1` or `src2` . If the rectangles do not intersect, `dest` 's width and height is set to 0 and its x and y values are undefined. If you are only interested in whether the rectangles intersect, but not in the intersecting area itself, pass `NULL` for `dest` .

#### Parameters

src1 | a GdkRectangle |
src2 | a GdkRectangle |
dest | return location for the intersection of `src1` and `src2` , or `NULL`. | [out caller-allocates][allow-none]
